Most business owners think their personal will has the business covered too, but that's usually not the case.

The term “business will” refers colloquially to a specialised directive, such as a shareholder’s agreement, a buy-and-sell agreement or a succession plan, that gives guidance on what should happen to your business when you (or other partners or shareholders) are no longer there.

Without a regularly updated “business will”, the business you spent decades building can unravel in months.

As cloud-based software delivery has lowered the barrier to adoption, many companies are starting to lose track of the number of software subscriptions they have. This phenomenon is known as “SaaS creep” (SaaS stands for Software as a Service) and research suggests that the problem is considerably larger than most leaders recognise.

The financial consequences are compounding, and, for organisations without formal oversight, almost entirely invisible.
