Today I talk to Barry Banther about succession planning for your family-owned business and how to exit gracefully with the proper plans in place. He also shares with us the top problems that are unique to family businesses, as well as the skills that are needed to lead a successful family-owned business.
“In a family-owned business, it’s imperative that you do the exit planning. It’s necessary to make sure you’re ready for any contentions. It takes about five years to put not only the plan in place but also to prepare all the people that are involved to prepare those people.” – Barry Banther
