Seventy percent of family businesses fail by the third generation. Not because the market changed, but because the handover was botched. This book gives founder-owners a clear, repeatable framework to transfer both ownership and leadership without tearing the company apart. You will learn how to separate emotional loyalty from operational reality, how to groom successors without breeding resentment, and how to design a timeline that protects value.
The goal is not just a signed contract, but a thriving business that outlasts its creator. Because a legacy built on love of craft should not end in a family feud.
