In the past, succession planning may have been the messy offering that you’d refer to a specialist colleague. With Succession Plus’ 5-Stage Business Succession & Exit Planning Program, we’ve removed the complexity to make this a highly profitable offering to provide in-house, and a superb value-add for clients.

Backed by a decade of development and testing, we’ve created a step-by-step template which simplifies the entire process, including how to charge for succession planning.

Accredited Advisors help clients identify, protect, maximize and extract the value from their business. With Baby Boomers heading toward retirement age, an estimated $14-trillion will change hands in the next decade. We’re searching for CEPAs, CExPs, CFOs, accountants and business coaches who are ready to become Accredited Advisors, to assist clients with exit planning.

Why the 5 Stage Program works

An appropriate exit strategy or succession plan maps out and considers every aspect of a business. Considering these factors allows you to design the best approach to maximize the business’ value and achieve a successful exit.

Our proprietary 5-Stage process allows you to look strategically at your client’s business and the marketplace in which it operates. The process also helps you to understand a client’s professional and personal goals to ensure your plan aligns with their objectives.

Using the 5-Stage Program allows you to easily plan, in detail, everything from staged payments, to superannuation contributions and Capital Gains Tax concessions.
