Generational handover
Cohabitation and role transition in family-run businesses
From father to son, from generation to generation: when the time comes to take this decisive step for your business we are there with you.
Because the generational handover marks a new chapter.
We write it with you.
Generational handover: never put an end to your company's history
It’s inevitable: sooner or later the family business will have to live with the new generation and, subsequently, make the dreaded, but also long-awaited, passing of the baton. These two moments can be great opportunities for growth, but they can also mean the end of the business due to generational clashes given by two different thoughts.
In fact, only 30 percent of businesses survive the second generation, and of these a further 50 percent close by the third generation.

Sharing company values, but also family values; respecting tradition, but not afraid to innovate; treasuring experience, always investing in new skills.
