ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION WITH

Family Business Succession Planning

Planning for succession within a family business can be a complex process, as leaders must consider business and family dynamics and potentially sensitive issues. 

As a coach, together we can explore strategies and skills to help you find the confidence and clarity you need to plan ahead.

Why Succession Planning Matters

Did you know that less than half of family-owned businesses across the country successfully transition to a second-generation business, and only about 13% make it to a third generation?

There are several challenges facing family businesses that don’t take the time to plan for this transition, such as:

  • Disputes and resentment within the family

  • Declining business

  • Disagreement in business approach between Generations

  • Relationship between non-working family members and working executives

Proper planning is key to business continuity. I can help family business leaders navigate this transition seamlessly while helping you understand how to protect family relationships.
