Day one
The team meets the new owner. Suppliers and key customers hear the news from you personally. Very little changes in the daily work.
The first month
The new owner listens and learns. You introduce them to important relationships and explain how things really get done.
Months two and three
You step back gradually, from running things to advising. Any changes are small, agreed and explained to the team.
Agree your role in advance
How long you stay, how many days a week and what you are paid should be agreed before completion, so nobody is guessing.
Put it into practice
General guidance only, not legal, tax or financial advice.
