Business Succession Planning Attorneys in Fort Worth, Texas
Why You Need Business Succession Planning Now
As the owner of a new or established business, you likely want the business to have staying power. For an enterprise to thrive after you have left the scene, however, proper legal planning is required.
At the Sawyer Law Firm, PLLC in Fort Worth, Texas, we help business owners develop the plans that are needed to ensure the future health of a business.
Why Some Businesses Have Long Lives
Why do some businesses continue for generations and others do not? Sound succession planning is probably one of the reasons. In-house strategic planning is a key to longevity for family-owned businesses. Thoughtful consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of all key personnel and employees (including family members and third parties) is vital.
When the owner or a partner becomes incapacitated or dies, businesses and partnerships that do not have succession plans often fail. Businesses also can be placed in peril when the partners decide they no longer want to work together.
But with proper planning, a business can survive.
Create a reliable plan for your business's future.
