5 mistakes business owners make when passing down their business to their children
YOUR BUSINESS IS A GENERATIONAL WEALTH BUILDING TOOL!
Business ownership is such a powerful tool, and today, we are seeing people starting their own businesses at very high rates. This is also especially true for people of color. Statistics have even shown that black women are now the highest demographic of people starting and owning small businesses. This means that NOW is the time to really invest in the planning and protection of this valuable asset, especially if you are wanting to pass your business down to your children one day.
Legally, the term for this protection and planning process is called business succession planning. And without it, you might as well be throwing your business away after you're gone.
As a business owner myself, I completely understand your concern of wanting to be sure your business is protected and set up for success so that it continues on after you. And as a person who lost her mother unexpectedly who didn't have a plan in place for her children, I personally know and have experienced the consequences of not being proactive and intentional about your children's future. (I ended up not seeing a penny of my mom's assets.) Learn from the mistakes of my family and download this guide so that you can get a head start on securing your legacy through your business.
The truth is this ...
You're working really hard on your business to leave a legacy for your family, but you do not know the EXACT STEPS you need to take to do that effectively, adequately, and correctly. (And quite honestly, you don't have the time to figure it out. You're not exactly an attorney either).
You would do anything for your children (even take a bullet for them), and it stresses you out or gives you anxiety not knowing whether they will be fully provided for, protected, and taken care of when you are no longer here to do so.
You absolutely DO NOT want to perpetuate the same toxic financial, relational, intellectual, and spiritual generational cycles that have been in your family for decades. You see more for your family and those who will come after you.
THIS GUIDE IS FOR YOU IF...
You want your business to be a stable financial source for your children even after your gone
You actually deeply care about what happens to your business because with it, you've made an impact on people's lives
You are working hard to build and grow your business and you do NOT want to see it stop with you
You desire to set an example for your children by being intentional about their future
You want this "passing down process" of your business to be super smooth with little mistakes so that your family won't have a big mess to clean up later
You dream big, are legacy-minded and desire to leave a long-lasting legacy through your business that lasts for generations
