Dave Roberts on Business Transition Planning:

“Many private business owners do not take the appropriate time to evaluate and plan for their business transition. This is often driven by the owner’s inability to find coordinated solutions to financial, family and business related issues. The end result is that private businesses are often bought by corporations outside of the community. This can lead to a loss of jobs and other lasting effects on local economies. The successful transition of private businesses is not just a private matter; it affects the entire community."
