Transitioning Your Family Business: Succession Planning Tips to Think About Now!
Regardless of industry, size or line of business, all business owners must someday transition their business. Yet many studies find that about 75% of family businesses do not have a succession plan in place. No matter who the next owner of your business may be or when you plan to exit, transitioning is a major process that requires time and effort. It’s a series of choices, assessments, and reassessments that can influence the way you run your business. Hear directly from Eide Bailly’s transaction advisers as they talk about how to prepare for sale in the current market — even if you’re not intending to sell.

August 2, 2023
Presented by Josh Baron
The reality is that unless a family’s interests are perfectly aligned, a rare occurrence in my experience, some conflict is inevitable. Therefore, the priority is to manage it, not tolerate or eliminate it. Conflict that is not managed inevitably escalates. Participants learned how to better manage conflict in a family business.
