Estate and Succession Planning 

Contemplating radical change or the end of a business you are involved with heart and soul can be an emotionally challenging experience. In many cases, the personal wealth of the owner is also heavily invested in the enterprise.

A succession plan made well in advance of retirement or the sale of the business provides stress-free certainty for owners, employees and customers alike. VGA has a wealth of experience in this complex but crucial aspect of business life.

VGA can help you arrange a plan that offers a fair market value for your enterprise, and still works for you personally and professionally.
