Succession planning

Succession Planning

In Croatia, retirement and inheritance planning remain relatively unfamiliar services, yet they are crucial for both individuals and society. Research indicates that only 30% of companies survive the retirement or passing of their owners, often due to a lack of knowledge about securing inheritance and the absence of adequate infrastructure for managing market shares.

Our succession planning service includes advisory support for entrepreneurs transitioning from managerial roles to ownership or planning to sell their shares. These services are often linked to transaction management, restructuring, or tax planning, forming a comprehensive service package.

We recommend creating a succession plan at least 3 to 5 years before the anticipated transition. This allows for timely adjustments, maximization of sale profitability, and proper organizational staffing for inheritance or management professionalization. Our team of experts will help you secure a stable and successful future for your business.
