How do I prepare my shop records so someone can take over?

Updated June 2026

Short answer

A shop is far easier to hand over when its sales, stock and supplier records live in a system rather than in your head. Keep selling on Veira so the next person inherits a clear history of what sells, what to reorder and who supplies it, instead of starting blind.

More detail

Succession, whether to family or a manager, fails when the knowledge walks out with the owner. Written, structured records make the business itself the asset, not just the person running it.

The more your day to day runs through one system, the smoother any handover: the new hand can see the numbers, the stock and the patterns from day one.

Why not just explain it verbally?
Memory leaves with you. A clear record of sales, stock and suppliers lets the next person run the shop without relying on what you happened to remember.
Can I give a successor their own access?
Confirm staff and access options with the team so a successor can be added with the right level of access as they take over.
