Who's Going to Carry on Your Business Legacy?

摘要

None of us likes to think of our own mortality. That is why many people put off making wills and other plans for what will happen after they are gone. However, having a succession plan will ensure that your business goes on and, if you have a family business, that your family members will be more financially secure and better prepared to carry on. A good succession plan involves taking a good look at yourself, your family members, partners and/or trusted employees and then determining where you wantthe business to go in the future. The plan also should involve trusted advisors, especially an accountant and an attorney who are up to date on tax laws, retirement plans and other financial issues.
