Brandimarte & Co.

Home/Services/Succession Operating Partner

Succession Operating Partner

For owners getting ready to sell, hand off, or step back. We get the business to the point where it can run without you.

Good fit if

Owners who plan to leave in the next few years, or who just want out of the daily grind, and know the business still runs through them.

How it works

Many owners wait too long to start this. A business that depends on one person is harder to sell and harder to hand off. We start early and move at your pace.

Some succession engagements may include an ownership stake in the business as part of the fee. That happens only by a separate written agreement that both sides sign. Nothing on this site is an offer to buy or take a stake in any business.

Talk about succession

What it includes

  • Find and put in a number two to run the business day to day
  • Get the books and numbers to the point a buyer or a family member will trust
  • Write down how the work gets done so it does not live only in your head
  • Map your options: sell, pass it on, bring in management, or keep it and step back
