Will your business die without succession planning?
Maybe. When we start a business, we all think that we are going to be the one who keeps it going for as long as it is needed. We do not think about the day when the business will no longer be profitable or people no longer need our services. Yet, these are the very problems that can cause a business to die.
It would seem that these problems should be addressed before starting any business. However, just because you have not put much thought into what will happen to your business when you retire does not mean your employees have not. It is only natural that they may have some ideas of what they would like to do in the future and might even have some ideas on how they could take over the company one day.
The truth is that without succession planning, your business may die when you least expect it. Even if you don't plan on retiring anytime soon, there may come a time when you are forced out of the company due to some unforeseen circumstances. If this happens, your employees will have no idea how to keep your company going and even if they do know how things work, your company may fall apart due to a lack of vision and support from within.
