Exit When Ready
FAMILY BUSINESS CAN BE HARD
Do any of these sound familiar?
- Business decisions that should be simple become complicated because of the family history and relationships that are involved
- It's time for the business leadership to transition to the next generation, but the current leaders aren't ready to let go
- You have people in roles that are performing poorly but you find it difficult to give feedback and you can't consider terminating them because they're family
- You're at a stalemate because part of the family wants the business to go in one direction while the rest of the family wants to go in another (or stay the same)
- You're experiencing "regular business problems" like a drop in revenue, new competitors, changing markets, economic impacts - and it's all made more complicated and confusing because of family relationships
We can help!
