Follow-up Bus Tour 2019: Well-attended launch on April 4 in Zurich
The Succession Bus Tour 2019 kicked off with its team of experts in Zurich on April 4, 2019, following last year's successful premiere. In around 20 one-on-one meetings, interested parties received valuable information for the succession process.
Under the motto "We present company stories and discuss realities", the Succession Bus initiative is directing its focus even more strongly on succession practice in 2019. How does succession work? What do I need to prepare? What is the value of my company? How do I find a successor for my company? Am I suited to be a successor? A team of experts answered these and other "burning" questions for SME owners in Zurich on April 4, 2019. Around 20 discussions were held. In the process, participants received information that is often not even thought of in the succession process, as one visitor confirmed. "You have to know and clearly define the goals in a succession plan," said succession expert Franziska Müller Tiberini. "Because letting go is a challenge". In addition to the individual discussions, insights into the succession stories of a wide range of Swiss companies were also provided by means of interviews and practical dialogs with entrepreneurs and experts.
In a video message, Zurich's Director of Economic Affairs Carmen Walker Späh welcomed the information initiative around business succession with these words: "SMEs are central to the economic success of our location. They provide jobs for many people and thus contribute to employment and prosperity. In order for them to be able to operate sustainably and in the long term on the market, founders and bosses must deal with their succession planning in good time. The succession bus offers appropriate advice."
