Succession Planning

Some 70% of first generation, family-owned businesses never make it to the second generation

FAMILY FIRM INSTITUTE, 2001

A simple question

What can prevent a smooth transfer of a business to its successors at retirement, death or disability?

A simple answer

A properly designed and funded succession plan

Major benefits of succession planning:

  • Assures a prompt and orderly sale or transfer
  • Eliminates potential conflicts among surviving owners
  • Shareholder's heirs receive a fair price for their interest
  • Profits go to active shareholders, not inactive family members or outside parties
  • Converts an illiquid interest into cash
  • Helps stabilize the business in the eyes of customers and creditors
