Before you hand over the reins of your business to a new owner, such as in a company buyout or to a succeeding family member and before you make any announcements about the transition you’ll want to plan ahead and tread carefully. A Change of Ownership Announcement Letter is a merely a formal announcement to all the faithful and devoted customers/employees that the owners of the company are going to waive the ownership to some other person/body. To put it straightforwardly, it is going to be owned by someone else/body henceforth. Such announcement letters can be used for reputed and huge firms/companies or business.
Introduce the new owners at the formal announcement meeting, if possible, and provide all employees with as much information as possible about the new owners and their goals for the company. It can either be a change in ownership or management. The letter may include a few important details about the new owner of the new owner’s name, qualification, experience and contact information. Disclosure of details other than these basic ones entirely depends upon the company’s policy and decision-making panel.
Tips to write a Change of Ownership Announcement Letter –
- The Change of Ownership Announcement Letter should include relevant details like changes in the existing contracts and renovation of policies.
- It must briefly include the history of the new owner, work background, experience, qualification and USP to run the business without endangering its smooth functioning.
- Also, don’t forget to disclose the details regarding the financial statement and records of the old company for transparency.
- For customer/employee trust and satisfaction, disclose the actual reason for the change in ownership. This will help to maintain the relationship.
