In this episode of Show Me The Perks, host Kim Bigg sits down with Vince Tripodi, Director of Accounting & Business Services at Perks, to explore the complexities of business succession and the importance of planning for the future. With nearly 40 years of experience guiding business owners through major transitions, particularly estate and succession planning, Vince brings valuable insights on the importance of succession planning, and how owners can navigate the process effectively.  

Despite its importance, a 2024 study examining exit readiness of Australian businesses found that nearly 50% of business owners don't currently have a succession plan, leaving their legacy and financial future uncertain. Kim and Vince discuss the key challenges owners face when planning for the next generation, from financial complexities to emotional considerations. They also highlight why communication is the most important part of the succession process - ensuring clarity between stakeholders, avoiding conflict, and creating a smooth transition. 

Whether you're a business owner approaching retirement or just starting to think about the future, this episode offers practical advice on what to consider for the long-term success of your business.
