Succession Planning

Often business owners are not prepared for the ultimate sale of their business. Their focus is on improving and growing the business and they are having fun in the process. Many owners suggest that they do not plan to consider a sale for 5 or 10 years.

What happens if you become suddenly ill or have an accident? Is there a plan in place? It is prudent to prepare for such an occurrence because we cannot predict sudden events. Monashee can assist you in the preparation of a succession plan roadmap to ensure there is a well planned guideline.

Advisory Board Governance

Monashee has advised private business owners on the establishment and ongoing function of advisory boards. The Advisory Board mandate, structure, advisor diversity, and agenda topics are key components that must be addressed. Advisory boards can be an important component of governance to ensure continuity in the event a business owner and/or other key management are unable to management the business as a result of illness or otherwise.
