Internal Business Succession Planning

Overview

Implement a 3-stage process that adopts a SME Family Office services approach generating multiple opportunities – valuation, advisory, financing & wealth.

Internal Business Succession Planning (IBSP) is far more than a succession solution. It is designed to help optimise business value & wealth through internal ownership transition.

For advisers & SME owners, IBSP is a proven growth strategy that can attract-retain key staff/successors, strengthens business performance & long-term value.

Proposed CGT reforms are expected to increase demand for ATO compliant business valuations & focus SME owners’ attention on their business value.

Interest in IBSP services is expected to grow significantly.
