The successor bus makes a stop in Zurich on 31 May
With the "Succession Bus", 12 experienced experts in succession planning will be touring across German-speaking Switzerland from May 24 to June 28, 2018. They offer SME entrepreneurs free talks on business succession. Actively addressing the issue in good time counts - currently, 14 SMEs close every day due to a lack of succession.
Experts get company succession off to a flying startThe second stop on this unique tour will be in Zurich on Thursday, May 31, 2018. The succession bus will stop at the Kunsthaus, Heimplatz 1, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. For one day, entrepreneurs and potential buyers will have the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information about business succession. The initiator of the "Succession Bus" is Carla Kaufmann, owner of Companymarket AG and succession expert.
How does a succession work? What do I have to prepare? What is the value of my company? How do I find a successor for my company? Am I a suitable successor? The 12 experts on the succession bus in Zurich are available to answer these and other "burning" questions for SME owners. This will take place in personal 1:1 conversations as well as at an information booth and at the concluding aperitif.
Short presentations and panel discussions with representatives from regional companies and politics provide current supplementary impulses.
