First paragraph: Taking over a business as an alternative to starting a new one has a lot of potential, and good consulting is key to making it work. Not only across the EU but also in Austria, more and more companies are actively looking for successors. This makes business succession not only a good alternative to founding a company, but also an important economic factor for the region.
Successful Succession Planning in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises on the EU Agenda
In the development of SMEs, succession arrangements are important strategic decisions to ensure the continued existence and further development of the company. The EU has also recognized this. The new DANAE program (Developing Advisors in a Novel Business Transfers & Acquisitions Environment), certifies experienced experts on the subject of “Advisors in a Novel SME Transfer”. This involves cross-border succession consulting for small and medium-sized enterprises.
The first 26 succession planning advisors certified throughout Europe
In the first round of certification in 2016/2017, 26 experienced experts from all over Europe were certified in order to make qualified consultants for business succession visible.
