Design Succession Plan for Small Business

Business succession planning has emerged as a critical need for North Dakota small businesses, especially in rural areas. Business succession planning is an important step to transition the business to the next generation for a family and for the community. A proper succession plan can ensure that the owner's retirement needs are met and the business can continue to flourish in the community for years to come.
