• EDASC - Succession Planning for Small Business

All business owners need to devote time and energy to developing a succession plan for their business. With a succession plan, business owners can identify a person or persons who can continue the business in the event that tragedy strikes or when the current owner decides to retire or sell. A succession strategy is a long-term event that takes months and, in some cases, years to implement successfully within the small business.

Learn strategies that will help you plan for an effective transition of your business. If you are looking to retire, sell your business, or are looking for ways to grow future leaders in your business then you should attend this free class.
