Generational change without loss of value
Generational change is one of the most important and sensitive phases in the life of a family business. Statistics show that only a third of family businesses successfully pass to the second generation and only 12% to the third.
We help family businesses successfully go through this key process and ensure business continuity for the next generation.
The owner asks himself these questions
Who will take over the company?
What if the children don't want to?
