\u201cWhen Your Career, and Retirement, Are the Family\u2019s Business<\/a>\u201d<\/em> Succession plans, or the lack thereof, can hinder the transition to a new generation \u2014 and affect how loved ones fund their later years.<\/p>\n Most workers strive to keep their personal and professional lives separate. But for people who start or inherit a family business, the opposite is true: The personal is professional. And it gets very personal when it comes to retirement.<\/p>\n Family businesses employ close to 60 percent of the nation\u2019s work force, according to calculations by management professors at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Kennesaw State University, in collaboration with the research and advocacy group Family Enterprise USA. They found there are as many as 32 million family businesses in the country.<\/p>\n In a sense, running a family business is the epitome of entrepreneurial success, with passing on that business to children the apex of that success. But a 2021 survey by the consulting firm PwC found that only about a third of family-owned businesses have a succession plan. We looked at five of these businesses to see how they managed the transition between generations \u2014 and how those plans affected owners\u2019 timelines for retirement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_style=”dotted” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||14px|||” custom_padding=”10px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/25\/business\/family-business-retirement-succession-millennials.html” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Find Out More: Click Here to Read the Full Article and Get the Whole Picture” button_alignment=”center” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Call to Action Button” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” custom_margin=”||23px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.19.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses and protecting a lifetime of savings has never been greater.
