Only 40% of small businesses have a succession plan in place. According to Project Equity, 6 out of 10 business owners plan to sell in the next decade. Small businesses make up 99.9% of all firms and provide 47.1% of all jobs in the United States. If you are a small business owner, it is crucial to have a succession plan in place. However, business owners believe that a family member will take over the business once they are ready to retire or in the event they pass away.
