Missing an Opportunity to Take Advantage of the Recession?
The closely held, family business (“CHFB”) often is the most significant asset of the business owner’s estate. These businesses represent not only a significant element in the Gross National Product of our country, but as politicians often cite are the largest source of U.S. jobs. However, studies reflect that less than 33% family businesses survive the transition to a second generation, and only about 11% survive to a third generation. These sobering statistics are no doubt borne from the combination of family business succession complexities as well as the pitfalls of transfer taxation.
As we all know, we have existed for some time in a period of economic recession.

Strategic Planning Season: a Time for Change
For many management teams, the current year’s strategic planning means the start of the same old routine. Someone assigned to take the reins will brush the dust off last year’s plan, assemble the usual suspects among your employees (assuming no turnover), and pick the same location to gather and commence brainstorming. Is this year’s planning process going to be the same as last year’s effort, or can it be transformed into something different. Is this the year to rewrite your company’s planning game plan?
We’ve survived 3 years of the worst economic environment most of us have ever lived through. You and your team have learned how to adapt and survive. But are you thriving? Are your revenues and profitability growing at an appealing rate? Are they growing at all? Is your team hungry and excited or concerned about the company’s future and individual job security? Are you ready for new challenges as a result of the upcoming presidential election in 2012?
