What Will Advisors Learn?
I'll take you inside the head of 'Family Business' Owners.
Advisors can be challenged to help Owners who are stuck on how to start transitioning their company and themselves. You can't help someone, in this kind of situation, until you really understand what is going on at their core.
Many Owners have good reason for delaying the inevitable. Advisors need to understand them and know what to do to overcome the many obstacles to a successful transition.
Make yourself even more valuable to your clients and make sure you have a seat at the table during and ideally after the transition process.
Transitions are rarely easy and usually a time consuming, frustrating experience for Sellers. An informed Advisor can help smooth out the process for both the Seller and their selling team.
In many cases, an Owner will come into way more money than they have pre-sale. A smart advisor wants to manage the current investments and the windfall to come.
Make your Advisors indispensable to their Clients.
