Business Succession

Preserving a lifetime of hard work in an owner’s business and passing it along to the next generation is a difficult process. Studies show that 70 percent of businesses fail as they move from the first to the second generation of owners. This is because many business owners neglect to prepare for the eventual transfer of their business.

There is a direct correlation between a business owner’s personal financial preparation and the successful transition of their business (often their most valuable asset). The extent to which these complex issues are integrated heavily influences the likelihood of success. Building wealth outside of a family business is critical to any business succession strategy.
