Description
In view of the frequent generational changes due in the coming years, the successful organization of company succession is of the utmost importance for many entrepreneurs and their employees, but also for the Bavarian economy. It is therefore important to tackle company handovers early and systematically to ensure that they are successful. On this website you will find an overview of what you need to consider when it comes to company succession.
The six most common problems associated with succession are listed under the facts about succession. These include financing the business takeover and not being able to let go of the business owner.
You will also find interesting facts about the succession process. For example, it must be clarified which form of business succession is involved - is it a transfer within the family, the sale of the business or the leasing of the business? Aspects that the transferor should consider are also listed. They should arrange the succession at an early stage, find the right successor, prepare their company and secure the company in the event of inheritance. The successor should also clarify a number of points, such as choosing the right company and financing. In addition, the Internet portal also offers tips on how the transferor and successor can approach the handover together. You will also find some practical examples of the succession process.
Another information focus is on support and advice. The Bavarian start-up agencies can serve as a point of contact if people want to become self-employed by taking over an existing business. You can also use a search mask to find the contact details of other advice centers, for example associations in your area. The Internet portal also contains links to further information on possible subsidies and offers relating to support and coaching.
The emergency folder section contains tips for unexpected succession issues: What happens to the company if the boss suddenly leaves, for example following an accident or serious illness? You can and should prepare for this emergency with an appropriate emergency plan. For example, it should contain documents for operational processes, such as powers of attorney and account powers.
Other subsections include links to succession exchanges, publications and events relating to company succession.
