Over the next decade, around one-third of Australia's 1.4 million business owners are expected to retire. Yet an estimated 467,000 Australian businesses still don't have a succession plan in place. In family run businesses and regional areas this equates to almost 80% of all businesses. Join us as we explore the conversations, strategies, and expert insights that help business owners plan with confidence for what's next. If you have questions or would like to learn more about planning the future of your business, we'd love to hear from you. Until next time, remember: the best succession plans don't just protect businesses—they protect families, legacies, and the future.

    When One Business Partner Leaves, Dies or Loses Capacity

    Vincent Caruso and Flora Alasaly work through a case study of two equal shareholders with no shareholder agreement to discuss what happens when a business loses a partner through death or incapacity. They unpack the risks of conflict, deadlock, and unintended ownership, and why having more than one owner does not remove succession risk; it just changes it. The good news is that these risks can be managed if you start the conversation before the crisis can hit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Succession Planning is More Than a Will

    In the first episode of The Succession Strategy, Vincent Caruso and Flora Alasaly explore why effective succession planning goes far beyond preparing a will.   They discuss what happens to a business when an owner retires, dies, loses capacity or can no longer continue, and why having a clear plan for ownership, control, management and financial security is essential for business continuity.   The episode explores the common gaps that can leave businesses and families exposed, from unclear decision-making authority to a lack of preparation for unexpected events.   Succession planning is not about giving up control today. It is about making sure there is a clear path forward when circumstances change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
