Knowledge portal on the subject of corporate succession
Over the next five years, more than 70,000 Swiss SMEs will be faced with succession planning. The need for information is correspondingly high, which has prompted Business Transaction AG to make its experience from over 130 transactions publicly available and to share it on a knowledge portal.
Business Transaction AG is one of the leading service providers for corporate transactions in the Swiss SME sector. With over 130 successfully completed transactions in a wide range of industries, an enormous wealth of practical knowledge has now been accumulated. This knowledge is now made available on a dedicated knowledge portal. Almost weekly, articles are published on a wide variety of topics in the field of corporate succession.
The SME succession market is still very intransparent
The economic importance of effective succession planning is undisputed: Over 70,000 companies are due for succession in the next five years, and thousands of jobs will be affected. Whether within the family, within the company or outside the company - potential successors are plentiful. Compared to the real estate market, however, the SME succession market is virtually intransparent: on the one hand, the published amount and quality of information on sales offers is rather low, and on the other hand, company owners and successors lack available information on the succession process. Due to its multi-layered aspects, business succession is highly complex and sometimes fails because too little know-how is available. Information on the subject is therefore particularly important.
News, practical examples, expertise, checklists and templates for business succession
Business Transaction AG's new knowledge portal addresses the problem of limited information available on the business succession process by processing the experience gained from countless transactions on the knowledge portal and making it freely available. The portal is designed in a simple and clear way. The user selects the form of information and the subject area and can then delve into the subject matter via several steps. Behind this content is the entire team of the up-and-coming consulting firm from Zurich Seefeld. "Gathering knowledge and experience and preparing them in an understandable form is something we have anchored in our company culture" says founding partner Yves Süess. The visitor numbers prove the company right. Since the test phase in the summer, traffic has increased significantly following the successful release at the end of August 2017.
