总有一天，您会希望退休，或想减少工作量。退休并非由年龄决定，而是取决于您的收入、资产及生活方式选择。对某些人而言，只要有稳定的薪资收入即可退休；但对其他人来说，可能希望追求不同的生活方式。您可能计划将企业交由下一代经营，或选择在现在或未来出售企业。

在处理与企业相关的决策时，应避免情绪化，以理性、系统化与有条理的方式进行，确保获得良好的投资报酬。

接班与传承计划不一定涉及整个企业，您也可以选择出售企业的部分要素，例如某项流程、品牌或商业概念。企业可被拆分为不同部分，而其中某些部分可能各自具有相当高的价值。

One day you'll want to retire or just work a little less. Retirement is not a function of age, retirement is a complete function of income and assets, and your lifestyle choices. And for some, you can retire on a certain amount of wage. For others, you desire a different lifestyle. You might plan to hand over your business to the next generation, or sell your business now or in the future.

Decisions around business need to be free of emotion, we need to be rational, systematic, methodological and make sure that you get a good return on your investment.

Succession planning may not just be about the whole business, you may want to sell different aspects of your business, for example a process, brand or concept. There may be ways to segment the business into aspects which have great individual value.
