      When it comes to your family business transition, many owners are concerned about a lack of interest among the next generation. There are a number of ways to build interest in the next generation, such as:

      • Involving them early in discussions on family values, goals, the family business and family wealth
      • Involving them in family meetings about the business
      • Having candid conversations about the intentions of both generations
