Legacy Through Transition: When Selling Is the Right Succession Plan

Not every family business has a next generation ready—or willing—to take over. In those moments, selling can become the most responsible way to protect founders, employees, and long-term value. This session explores a real-world case study in which founders without a formal succession plan worked with leadership, investors, and advisors to design a thoughtful exit that preserved culture and continuity. Panelists will discuss aligning family priorities, ownership structures, and wealth strategies to ensure legacy endures through transition.
