Internal Succession Decision Framework - Sole Decision Maker

What this is

A decision framework for founders or sole principals assessing whether internal succession is viable - and on what terms.

What it helps you decide

• Whether internal succession is something you genuinely want, not just something that feels expected
• Whether the business can support it financially and operationally
• What authority, income, and relevance you are prepared to relinquish over time

Why buy this

Internal succession often fails because founders defer decisions until options have narrowed. This framework encourages the decisions that are usually deferred until they are no longer optional.

What you get

• A completable decision framework (PDF with response fields) 
• A structured, private decision process you complete independently
• Explicit trade-offs around money, control, timing, and continuity
• A clear “go / pause / stop” outcome you can stand behind
