What is succession planning, and why is it important?

Succession planning, also called exit or transition planning, creates a roadmap for future leadership changes. This could mean an owner is retiring and transferring the firm to family members or funding their next big adventure with a third-party sale.

A succession plan also outlines how immediate and ongoing financial obligations will be met, like any remaining contracts. While a business can represent one of the most valuable assets in the portfolio, succession planning can feel uncomfortable.

However, unexpected life events can negatively impact a business’s value or reputation without a plan. A documented succession plan gives you the control and confidence to ensure a smooth transition and leaves the company in the most capable hands.

Aldrich’s advisors have the industry expertise to help you transition your architecture and engineering firm and maximize future returns.

Understanding your business

Growing an architecture or engineering firm takes years of hard work, and we know how important it is to protect that legacy. Many leaders want to ensure their succession plan provides jobs and income to key employees and family members. Others want their legacy captured through charitable contributions. There is no one size fits all for exit planning, so our advisors take the time to get to know you, your business, and your financial goals.
