By Madelaine Braggs | Rose Law Group Reporter

Gurudanti says due to covid, 31.3% of small businesses in Arizona closed down and many did not have a succession plan. In estate planning, people draft wills and directions for all their assets in the case they die. The same concept applies in business and succession planning.

For example, Gurudanti said, “If I’m an owner of an entity, people who work for me need to know what happens to that business if something happens to me, if I die or get a divorce. Who will be the owner of the company?”

“Having a succession plan is usually one of the last things that entrepreneurs think about, which is why this event was great because we could highlight how important it is to have a succession plan in place so that you’re building a business which can leave a legacy after.”

Gurudanti has extensive experience with emerging businesses, as well as privately held and publicly traded entities in diverse industries and professions, including construction, real estate development, technology, solar and other energy sources, financial institutions and banking, hotels and resorts.
