Your priorities are largely determined by family values. The relationships that you have developed with the business that you want to take over heavily influence your choices. Taking over a business is a project founded on sharing and solidarity, one that will allow you to build a family legacy with the help of your children and your employees.
What will your options look like?
- You will necessarily take over a business that belongs to your parents or to members of your extended family.
- You will take over a business belonging to a stranger with the goal of developing it as a family legacy that you will be able to leave to your heirs.
