Open every drawer.
Six questions to settle before you commit.
What still depends on the owner, and for how long?
What it tells youHow much of the company stays when the owner steps back.
Do the figures hold when a bank reads them?
What it tells youWhat the company can carry, and what you can finance.
Who stays, and who leaves with the owner?
What it tells youWhich relationships come with the company, and which you have to win.
Which contracts rest on the owner’s name?
What it tells youWhat passes to you as it is, and what must be signed again.
What does the company owe, and who signed for it?
What it tells youWhether a personal guarantee would become yours.
What role will the owner keep, and who has the last word?
What it tells youWho decides, the day after you take over.
Who decides what.
Three roles, kept apart from the first call.
The owner chooses.
To whom the company goes, on what terms (a gift, a sale or both), and how other heirs are treated.
You decide.
Whether you take it on, and when you say yes.
We lead the process.
Mandated by the owner or the company, neutral between you. What we find is shared with you as the owner decides.
Not yet is an answer too.
The answer is yours. Give it once you know what you would take over.
