Planning for your business succession doesn’t have to be all spreadsheets and serious talks, it can be an adventure. The team at Oxford Edge is here to help you plan your transition while keeping things upbeat and energised. Whoever you’re looking to pass the baton to – a family member, a rising star on your team or an eager entrepreneur – we can guide you through the process with confidence.

Start by asking yourself when you want to retire, then work backwards to create a clear timeline for a gradual handover. A seamless transition helps ensure your business keeps thriving while minimising any disruptions.

If you’re not sure who your successor will be, don’t stress. The perfect fit could be closer than you think.

At Oxford Edge, we can also help you understand your business’s value and provide expert valuations if you plan to sell or transfer ownership. Plus, we’ll walk you through the tax implications to make sure you’re fully prepared.

One key to a successful transition is having solid systems and processes in place and documenting what you know. Sharing this knowledge will give your successor the tools to succeed, setting them up for success.

Yes, it’s hard to step back from something you’ve built but remember, you’re not disappearing. Rather, you’re evolving into a mentor or advisor, or just enjoying a well-deserved retirement. Whatever your future holds, Oxford Edge is here to help you navigate the journey with confidence and excitement.
