Description
How do you ensure a smooth business transition while planning for the future? While you may not be thinking of selling or transitioning your business any time soon, succession planning should be top of mind today. By thinking of your business’ succession process early, you can optimize your business’ value while preparing for the unexpected and protecting your loved ones.
Led by Dentons Canada LLP, this webinar will provide you with insight into the importance of business succession planning at any stage of your business. Hear how estate freezes could be an essential strategy for owners/managers and for successfully transferring your business to the next generation. Further, as part of an overall succession plan, Keith and Erin will discuss how having a proper estate plan in place will ensure you, your family and your business are protected in case of an emergency.
Join us as we look ahead to the future and assess what should be addressed sooner rather than later!
