It is important to have a plan and timeline for an effective transition. You will need to identify capable family members who may be interested in running the agency. Interest should be assessed, and conversations should be had to ensure that the next generation of leaders is truly interested and not taking it out of guilt. A plan should be built to hone their skills while the current owner is still engaged with the agency operations, and trust and value should be established with team members and clients.
