THE EMPTY CHAIR
PROTECTING WHAT YOU’VE BUILT
You built the business.
Employees depend on it.
Customers depend on it.
Your family depends on it.
What happens when YOU can’t be there?
Most business owners spend time thinking about who will own the company.
Far fewer have considered who could run it tomorrow morning.
THE BUSINESS BEYOND THE OWNER
The strongest businesses don't stop when the owner can't show up.
Customers still get served.
Employees still get paid.
Supplies still get ordered.
Decisions still get made.
The business keeps moving forward.
That doesn't happen by accident.
It's the result of intentional planning.
The kind of planning that insures that you know:
Who can make decisions?
Who can access accounts?
Who can sign?
Who takes over when the owner can't?
WHAT IS BUSINESS OWNER PLANNING ?
Business owner planning isn't really about documents.
It's making sure the business can keep moving when the owner can’t.
Most plans focus on four areas:
Authority
Who can sign contracts, access accounts, and make decisions
Ownership
What happens if an owner dies, becomes disabled, divorces, retires or wants out?
Leadership
Who steps in when key decision-makers are unavailable?
Continuity
How do customers, employees, vendors, and operations keep moving?
