Joint successor magazine launched by ORGANISATOR, Nachfolgebus.ch and Companymarket.ch
On April 29, the first, digital edition of the succession magazine was published. This publication was launched jointly by the SME trade magazine ORGANISATOR, the Nachfolgebus.ch initiative and the Companymarket.ch company placement platform.
The topic of company succession is highly relevant despite - or perhaps because of - the current Corona crisis. According to a study by Bisnode B&D, more than 75,000 companies in Switzerland are currently facing an open succession issue. Accordingly, the need of the companies concerned for information and competent support in the succession process remains high.
Successor magazine to cover high demand for information
The topic of "succession planning" has always had a fixed place in the editorial section of the SME trade magazine ORGANISATOR. Since 2018, there has also been a media partnership with the Nachfolgebus.ch initiative: In the form of a roadshow, succession experts toured a total of 14 cities in German-speaking Switzerland in a vintage bus in 2018 and 2019. The team of experts was available for consultations with interested entrepreneurs.
In 2019, the idea matured to cover the high demand for information with an additional communication channel. In partnership, ORGANISATOR, Nachfolgebus.ch and Companymarket.ch subsequently developed the concept for the successor magazine. This is to be published annually in the future and is available immediately with its first issue - initially digitally as a PDF. The publication, which is jointly published by the aforementioned partners, conveys bundled know-how on all aspects of corporate succession. Checklists, practical cases and expert contributions provide an introduction to and in-depth knowledge of this complex topic. What's more, the topic of sharing adds a further aspect that shows SMEs various options for mastering crises and managing succession. The succession magazine is available until May 31, 2020 at preferential rates of CHF 15 for the complete issue and CHF 10 for the checklists (PDF & Word) and the expert directory from May 1. as PDF download available.
Succession is rethought: expert talks digital - Succession Day - Phoenix Award
The succession magazine is just one of various other innovations with which the Nachfolgebus.ch initiative will be back on the road from 2020. Sellers and buyers interested in succession can now conduct their personal expert discussion digitally via video call with one of the 15 succession experts and directly book via the website nachfolgebus.ch. It will start on May 7. The first Succession Day is also planned for September 17, 2020, with workshops, keynotes and panel discussions on the crucial stages of succession. And the Phoenix Award for Long-Term Swiss Entrepreneurship is intended to give a stage to SMEs that have already successfully mastered business successions several times and have managed to survive even major crises in the long term. The initial focus is on companies and organizations that have been entered in the commercial register for 100 years this year.
