Succession Planning
Business owners generally focus on business growth and a sale event is often considered to be 5-10 years in the future. There is rarely a plan in place to account for sudden illness or an accident or general succession of the business. It is prudent to have a plan in place to protect the business, employees and heirs. Monashee can assist in the preparation of a succession plan roadmap to ensure there is a well planned guideline.
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.
Monashee advised us through the process of selling our business to a large international business. We were very pleased with the outcome and have praise for the expertise and guidance that was provided. We felt that Kevin always had our interests at heart.
