Succession Planning
In the factory we make cosmetics; in the store we sell hope.
Approximately
43 percent of the people who own and operate the closely-held businesses that
account for 80 to 90 percent of the North American economy are due to retire
in the next five years. Inadequate estate planning and failure to properly prepare
and provide for the transition to the next generation, coupled with lack of
funds to pay estate tax, were among the three leading causes
for the failure of Family Firms.
Succession planning is a growing issue for Family Businesses. It can seem overwhelmingly complex. The family-in-business together involves personal issues, family issues, and business management issues. One of the key reasons Family Business Owners do not address succession is other issues are thought to be more pressing. These issues include conflict management, communications, etc.
