Manufacturing business succession is about far more than deciding who takes over.

Whether you are planning retirement, preparing for a future sale, or considering passing your business to family members or your management team, early planning can protect the value you have built and help ensure a smooth transition.

In this webinar, Corporate Solicitor Kiera Goodwin explains the legal and practical considerations involved in succession planning for manufacturing businesses.

She explores the three main succession routes, the importance of business structure and governance, and the steps owners should take well before any exit.

This webinar is particularly relevant for owners, directors and shareholders of manufacturing businesses who want to safeguard their business for the future.

In this webinar:

  • Why succession planning matters
  • Preparing your business for succession
  • Family business succession
  • Management Buyouts (MBOs)
  • Third-party business sales
  • Shareholders' Agreements and Articles of Association
  • Holding company structures and asset protection
  • Growth shares and Enterprise Management Incentive schemes
  • Common succession risks
  • Practical steps to maximise business value before exit
