Abstract: The earlier succession planning begins, the better. Developing and grooming a successor will take time, as will preparing employees and managers to adjust to a new ownership structure. It’s also necessary to bring together a team of experts to help create a workable succession plan that provides for a sound management structure and includes a buy-sell agreement.

It’s important to recalculate burn rate on a regular basis because unforeseen circumstances can affect the rate of cash consumption.
