Learn large companies have similar succession planning issues as small ones.

1. The owner/CEO has to address the issue.
2. Who, what, when, why, and how are important.
3. Know your options. A company making $1 million a year probably won't sell to a professional buyer (PE or Family Office) and one making $5 million probably has to sell to a professional buyer.
