Succession Planning

Are you prepared for the next stage in the evolution of your franchise business? Exit strategies and retirement planning can include building a legacy organization to pass on to your children; taking on a partner and phasing out of the business; selling to the highest bidder and walking away; or selling to managers or a buyer most likely to retain the culture and team you’ve so painstakingly built over the years.
