What is business succession planning?
June 20, 2025 – Kimberly Hegwood

Business succession planning is the strategic process of preparing for the seamless transfer of ownership, management, and operations of a business when the current owner steps down, retires, or passes away. For small and midsize businesses in Houston, it facilitates continuity, preserves the value of the business, and protects the owner’s legacy and employees’ livelihoods.
