Succession from the founder's chair
Most succession decisions happen years before any deal. These are the conversations owners have with themselves first.
About founder perspective
This topic sits within the succession hub of the Mantle Partners resources. How owners think about stepping back — and when the conversation actually starts. It lists the pieces published so far.
Who these resources are for
They are written for owners of owner-led businesses in the United Kingdom, and for the accountants, solicitors and trusted advisors who sit alongside them. Mantle Partners supports the advisor relationship and does not replace it.
