Every family business needs to start planning for their future leadership. Whatever your planning horizon is to transitioning your business, now is the time to start having the conversation. 

Succession is one of the greatest challenges associated with running a family business. Planning well maximises the chance of continuing the legacy you have built. If not, the results can have negative long lasting impacts on both the operations of the business and the dynamic of the family. 

FBA’s Planning Succession for Family Business course will provide you with hands on tools necessary to begin establishing a succession plan. Supported by the use of a case study, you will learn the different options for both leadership and ownership transitions. This is an opportunity for current business leaders, future leaders and managers as well as any other parties involved in the transition process to get a head start.
