Exit and Succession Planning

For four decades, Predictable Futures has helped hundreds of businesses, owners and families navigate the transitions of their business – both from an ownership perspective, and also from a leadership perspective. We take a holistic approach. This is not a simple transaction, and most owners have not walked this journey before – we get that. The legal agreements, tax planning and other considerations are all critical aspects of transition, but it starts with careful thinking and planning of what “good would look like” for a variety of stakeholders: the owner(s), the business, employees, family, partners and others.

Our proven process has helped many owners think through their exit, and avoid the issues that too often create conflict, reduce the value of the business, and result in an unsatisfactory transition and transaction. Research shows that 74% of owners who sell their businesses, when asked one year later, have regret in how the transaction went. Why? Because too few people pay attention to the complex web of people and processes affected, and fail to plan an effective transition, versus simply a transaction.
