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.
