Who Should Consider Succession Planning?
Succession planning is relevant for any individual or organization responsible for leading or operating an enterprise. This includes:
-
Small Business Owners — from retail and hospitality to trades and services
-
Farm Operators — including family-run and incorporated farms
-
Non-Profit Leaders — particularly those in key governance or executive roles
-
Family-Owned Enterprises — preparing for generational transition
Regardless of your timeline, taking steps now ensures you're well-prepared for the future while strengthening your business or organization in the present.
Why Start Now?
Effective succession planning is not just about preparing for the future — it's about strengthening your operation today. Without a clear plan, transitions can be rushed, disruptive, and financially uncertain. With one in place, you gain clarity, confidence, and control over what comes next.
For rural communities like North Perth, successful transitions help keep businesses open, farms productive, and leadership rooted in the community — all of which contribute to a resilient local economy.
