Building Legacies: Why Athena Is Committed to the Growth, Succession, and Exit Success of Women-Owned Businesses
Women-owned businesses drive innovation and economic growth, yet most lack the support needed to scale, plan succession, or exit with confidence. Athena Advisory Collective shares how intentional planning helps women founders turn success into legacy and build lasting wealth for themselves, their teams, and their communities.
Why Succession Planning is Essential for Business Growth and Enterprise Value
Business owners often think succession planning is only about preparing for retirement. In reality, it is the key to unlocking the next stage of growth. Companies that evolve beyond owner dependence, build strong leadership benches, and implement scalable systems not only grow faster but also increase their enterprise value. At Athena, we partner with owners as private, non-equity business partners, helping them strengthen leadership, align systems, and prepare for succession or exit.
