Short Answer

A transition plan details how a business will function if the owner retires or departs. It designates a successor, identifies key stakeholders, documents key processes, and assesses risks. A well-crafted plan ensures a smooth transition and preserves business value, while the absence of one can disrupt continuity and decrease value.
