Supporting the full lifecycle of your business

Succession planning is one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of running a business. For business owners who’ve built a successful franchise, carefully planning for the future ensures all the hard work and effort poured into the business can continue to thrive - even when you decide to step away.

At Travel Counsellors, we understand the significance of this decision. Whether you want to retire, sell your business, or acquire someone else’s, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our goal is to empower you with the tools, resources, and confidence to make the best choices for your future.

Here’s how we help our business owners with succession planning.

A dedicated hub packed with resources

Imagine having all the information you need to plan your next steps in one convenient place. That’s exactly what we offer with our succession planning hub. This dedicated platform is packed with expert insights for Travel Counsellors preparing for life after their business.

Whether you’re considering retirement or looking to pass the reins to someone new, you’ll find helpful resources on everything you need to know – including a ‘matchmaking’ function so you can see which Travel Counsellors are open to buying or selling their businesses.

On-demand webinars

We offer a selection of webinars that you can watch on demand at your convenience. These webinars cover a variety of succession planning topics, such as how to prepare your business for sale, how to maintain its value, and how to create a smooth handover process. Delivered by our expert Relationship Management team, these sessions will give you the knowledge and confidence to take the next step, whatever that may be.

Support with acquiring another franchise

Succession planning isn’t just about stepping away; it can also be about moving forward. For those with aspirations to grow, we provide guidance and support for acquiring another Travel Counsellor’s business.

Whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio or step into a well-established business, our team ensures you have everything you need to make a smooth, seamless, and successful transition.

Tailored support from your dedicated Relationship Manager

From the moment you launch your business as a Travel Counsellor, you’ll have one-on-one support from a dedicated, ILM-qualified Relationship Manager. They’ll be with you from start to end – giving you the tools and resources you need to grow your business and then wind it down when the time is right. They’ll help you decide what’s the ideal next step to take and give you the confidence you need to actually move forwards.

Join a community where your future genuinely matters

When you join the Travel Counsellors community, you gain access to a wealth of resources, expert support, and a network that’s dedicated to helping you succeed - not just today, but every step of the way.
