Practical Insights from Australia’s Leading Succession Planning Specialists

At Succession Plus, our advisers are regularly invited to speak at industry events, client briefings, board sessions, and professional development programs. With decades of hands-on experience supporting business owners through succession and exit, we bring real-world understanding to the stage - paired with clear, strategic insights.

Why Succession Plus 

Over the years, we’ve worked with hundreds of privately owned businesses across Australia. That experience  - combined with our structured approach to exit planning — gives our presenters a strong foundation to speak with authority, clarity, and relevance.

We don’t speak in theory. We share the lessons we’ve learned guiding real businesses through real transitions — what works, what to watch for, and how to build long-term value that lasts beyond the current owner.

Featuring Dr Craig West – Founder & Executive Chairman

Dr Craig West is one of the most respected voices in business succession and employee ownership in Australia. As the founder of Succession Plus and a published author, Craig has spent over two decades advising mid-market business owners and developing the frameworks that underpin our work today.

Craig holds a Doctor of Business Administration focused on succession planning, alongside qualifications in law, accounting, and finance. He’s also:

  • A regular speaker at business and industry events across Australia and internationally
  • The author of six books on succession, valuation, asset protection, and ownership structures
  • A recipient of the Exit Planning Institute’s Exit Planner of the Year and Circle of Excellence recognition
  • The architect behind ESOP strategies awarded ESOP of the Year twice

Craig’s presentations are valued for their depth, honesty, and relevance. Audiences leave with practical insights, not just theory.

Our Team of Presenters

Alongside Craig, our national team of experienced advisers regularly speak at events across a range of industries. Presentations often cover topics such as:

  • Succession and exit planning for business owners
  • Increasing business value before a transition
  • Tax-effective strategies for employee share ownership
  • Structuring and funding ESOPs in Australia
  • Common pitfalls and how to avoid them

Our advisers bring technical expertise and lived experience — ensuring every session delivers practical value and resonates with business leaders.
