Navigating the questions

Business owners looking to sell or pass their business along are often overwhelmed by choices and questions such as:

  • Should I turn my business over to my children?
  • Should I go for an executive buy-out?
  • Is a third-party acquisition the smart move?
  • Do I want to increase the value of my company before handing it over?

Even after these questions are answered, planning and implementation can feel overwhelming. We’re here to help.

It’s emotional and economic.

Planning your legacy includes a detailed evaluation of your business and addressing the emotions associated with succession. Scott understands the challenges involved in deciding to hand over your business, and in making an actionable plan and implementing it.

Nationally, about seven out of ten businesses are family-owned. In the Northwest, family-owned businesses account for about nine out of ten. Over the next five to ten years, around forty percent of the leadership of these businesses will transition control of the business to the next generation.

Yet, the statistics are sobering:

70% of these businesses will not make a successful transition from first to second-generation leadership.

90% will not make the successful transition to third-generation leadership.

Are you ready to create lasting success? If the answer is “yes” reach out by scheduling a complimentary 30-minute consultation.
