Business Succession & Exit Planning Specialists
Succession Plus is entirely focused on designing and implementing successful exit strategies which
achieve the owners goals, release them from the business they have been so heavily invested in (in
blood, sweat and tears) and provide the financial reward they deserve, in what for many is their
greatest asset, but often the most difficult to unlock. Our international partnership is a team of highly
skilled experts who bring a wealth of experience and passion to helping business owners maximise the
value of their businesses and achieve a successful exit.

The Exit Insights Podcast
This podcast is dedicated to helping business owners prepare for a successful exit by sharing insights and strategies to maximise the value of their life’s work and exit on their terms. With 55% of business exits being unplanned due to events like death, divorce, or disability, and only 20% of those who take their business to market actually closing a deal, it doesn’t have to be this way. This podcast is for business owners in the early stages of planning their exit, whether they’re feeling stressed, running out of energy, or looking to change direction.
Each episode addresses the critical issues and topics business owners face when planning to sell. Guests include experts in succession planning, financial planning, tax, legal matters, and more. The podcast also features business owners who have successfully exited, sharing their experiences and lessons learned.
