Navigate the Challenges of Business Succession

In today’s fast-paced corporate landscape, the continuity of a business is often challenged by the absence of a successor from within the founder's family. The concept of employee succession is rapidly gaining traction as a viable solution. On September 25, 2025, from 14:00 to 15:30, Strike Co., Ltd. and TOMA Consultans Group will co-host an insightful free web seminar titled "Learning about Employee Succession from Experienced Individuals."

This seminar will provide a platform for entrepreneurs and business leaders to explore the intricacies and advantages of transitioning business leadership to employees. As societal norms change, many business owners are recognizing that their offspring may not be inclined to take over family businesses. Therefore, exploring employee succession has become essential. This seminar aims to address the critical aspects of selecting and developing a suitable successor, navigating the complexities of share transfer, and understanding the overall process involved in ensuring a smooth transition.

The session will be led by Akio Touma, the Chairman of TOMA Consultans Group, who himself has extensive experience in this area. With a background that includes founding an auditing firm and growing it to a consulting powerhouse with over 200 employees, Chairman Touma brings invaluable insights. He will share practical advice on:

• - Identifying the right successor from within your team
• - Creating a framework for developing future leaders in your organization
• - Understanding the fundamentals of share transfer during succession

These themes will be explored in detail, making for an engaging and informative session.

Why Employee Succession?

The recent trend shows an increasing number of business owners opting for employee succession or external succession methods, largely due to a lack of interest from family members in taking over. This approach helps maintain operational continuity and preserve employment, making it an attractive choice for many entrepreneurs. However, the process can be complex, requiring careful planning, strategic foresight, and thorough knowledge of legal and financial implications.

Not only will this seminar benefit business owners who are contemplating succession plans, but it will also educate those who fit the profile for external succession on the practicalities involved. Participants will gain insight into:

• - The pros and cons associated with employee succession
• - Detailed, step-by-step methodologies for implementing an employee succession plan
• - Real-life anecdotes and success stories from those who have navigated this transition successfully
