Saxony-Anhalt: IHK: 3600 companies are looking for a successor

Halle (dpa/sa) - Around 3,600 companies in Saxony-Anhalt will have to look for a successor in the next five years. This emerges from figures from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Halle on Monday. "These are mostly well-established companies with qualified employees and the best future prospects," said a spokeswoman for the successor network "NU:N" on Monday.

The search for successors poses problems for many entrepreneurs in Saxony-Anhalt. The search is particularly difficult in rural areas. In addition, according to the Chamber of Crafts, it sometimes takes several years, which entrepreneurs should calculate for the search for a successor and the transition.
