Essential Steps for a Successful Business Succession Plan (S3E18)

Providend's Money Wisdom

As Asia’s leading fee-only wealth advisory firm, we understand the challenges faced by business owners who are focused on growing their enterprises and may not have had the chance to develop a comprehensive business exit and succession plan.

In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, Isaac interviews Jerome Song, Associate Director of Business Exit at Providend, about the critical aspects of a successful succession plan, including preparing future leaders and retaining top talent during what can be a challenging transition.

With over two decades of experience in finance, mergers and acquisitions, strategy, and people development, Jerome discusses how he partners with business owners to determine if a family member is suitable to succeed the business. He also cites successful succession planning case studies from companies such as Apple and Bengawan Solo.

You may also be interested in an earlier podcast where Jerome discusses how Benny Se Teo, founder of Eighteen Chefs, successfully exited his business, highlighting the importance of accurate business valuation and finding the right buyer to ensure business continuity and employee welfare.

Through deep conversations with our advisers, you will gain clarity on what matters most in life and what needs to be done to live a good life, both financially and non-financially.
