Family farm succession planning is becoming an ever increasing area of concern for most farming families.

Parents generally want all their children to be treated fairly, and to have harmony between siblings.

Therefore families are grappling with the conflicting pressures of equality, fairness and harmony.

Everyone's needs are different, and there are no easily prescribed solutions to family succession planning.

However, one of Farm Plan's core activities is to facilitate families through a Family succession process. If you are grappling with a Family Succession issue we may be able to help.

Do you want to be involved in a Successful Equity Partnership?

Over the years, there have been some spectacularly successful and spectacularly disastrous examples of equity partnership investment.

More than anything else, the difference between outstanding success and dismal failure comes down to one thing. People.  

That is why you need a robust process to ensure you and the people you are looking to invest with have similar values, purpose and vision.

Farm Plan has facilitated a number of successful Equity Partnerships, and our services are available for new or existing Equity Partnerships, to ensure you are either getting or will get the best out of your investment.
