TY - BOOK A1 - Graffius, Michael A1 - Felden, Birgit A2 - Felden, Birgit T1 - Guidebook to Support the Succession & Transfer of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses in European Regions N2 - This guidebook and its research results stem from the interregional collaboration of the STOB regions project. The project, funded by the EU Commission, Interreg Europe, deals with the specific characteristics and challenges of business succession in small and medium enterprises (SME) in the European Union and addresses the complexity of the entire transfer process. From the first thoughts of an owner to sell the business to the actual transfer and beyond. Fundamentally, the project addresses all types of successions and transfers of business: family-internal transfers to, e.g., children and external transfers to investors or employees. It also includes shared solutions where only (a part of the) management is handled externally, and ownership is not (or just partly) transferred.
