Article Publish Date: May 17, 2023
Article Abstract:
Entrepreneurs bring many ambitions to the table, including, perhaps, someday bringing their children into the enterprise. A successful business can thrive and grow for generations, so it’s natural to want your family to continue the legacy and cultivate the business’s future.
Although developing a family business sounds straightforward and beneficial, transitioning and expanding the business from generation to generation has many risks, challenges and complexities to consider.
In any business, if the future is well planned, risks are managed, and challenges are faced head-on, then the sky’s the limit.
