Why They Are Neccessary! "Statistics show that less then 13% of all family owned businesses make it through the
third generation."

Estate and Transfer Taxes |
 |
Future Income for the parents |
 |
Leadership for the next generation |
 |
Holding family members accountable |
 |
Design of the Exit Strategy |
 |
Fairness & equality for those family members in the business & those who are not |
 |
Stages of Succession |
|
| |
Who Should Attend? Family Succession Retreats should be attended by all family members,
(involved or uninvolved in the business) who have reached an age of maturity. In-laws are highly
encouraged to attend. |
| |
How Long Does A Retreat Last? The retreat should last two days. We will start at approximately 9:00 a.m. on the
first day and finish about 5:00 p.m. The second day should also start at about 9:00 a.m. and wrap
up mid-afternoon, depending on the individual circumstances of that particular family. |
| |
Where Should The Retreat Be Held? The retreat should be held away from the business location. Many people choose a hotel
or resort away from the work environment. It is important to have a time of relaxed introspection during
the evening, accompanied by dinner with the family. |
