At Rawls Succession Planners, we work with family and privately held business owners whose companies are performing well, yet carry more internal pressure than most people see.

Succession planning isn’t about retirement.  And it isn’t something estate or tax planning can solve on its own.

In our work with owners across industries, risk rarely shows up as a single event.
It accumulates quietly:

 * A leadership team that can run the business today, but struggles to scale it
 * One or two indispensable people holding too much of the organization
 * Successors who look capable on paper, but aren’t fully prepared
 * Family relationships influencing decisions more than anyone admits
 * Strong financial results masking structural strain inside the business

That’s where our work begins.

For more than 50 years, we’ve helped owners strengthen the business itself — the leadership depth, decision clarity, and alignment that determine whether a company can grow, transition, or absorb disruption without losing momentum.

Our advisory work sits at the intersection of:
 * Leadership bench strength and successor development
 * Alignment between owners, family members, and key executives
 * Governance and decision authority
 * Growth and continuity under real-world pressure
 * Coordinating legal, tax, and wealth strategies with how the business actually operates

The result isn’t a document or a one-time plan.
It’s better decisions, less internal drag, and more flexibility — while the owner is still in control.

We also work closely with senior executives and professional advisors who recognize that successful succession isn’t solved in silos, and that strategies must hold up inside the business, not just on paper.
