Passing Your Company On To Your Children

7/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
When a famous business tycoon dies, it makes us think what would happen to the company they leave behind. The same thing goes if the owner is too old to run the business. 
​
As a business owner now and a parent at the same time, you hope your children would be as passionate and dedicated to run the family business as you do. But unfortunately, your kids can change their mind about running the business, or not completely sold with the idea. There are many other reasons why your children would rather not manage the family business.
​Common Reasons Why Kids Are Not Interested
  • They lack the knowledge in running a business. They think they are not well equipped to handle one. 
  • The parents give their children quite large salaries, for the reason that it is their business anyway.
  • They think it is too much work to take over the family business. Perhaps, your lifestyle and how little time you give them now are what make them think like that. 
  • The location of the family business is not nice for your children. Despite earning a high amount of profit, but the surrounding area is smelly and a high risk one, you kids may not like to stay there. 
  • They want to pursue a different career. 
  • They are sure that you will meddle with how they run the family business. If you don’t let them make their own decisions regarding the business, this is reason enough for them to leave.
Do not lose hope yet. You can encourage your kids to be willing to take over the family business with the help of these ideas:
  • Assess the capabilities of your children. You may be good at this industry, but not everyone will be effective and successful in this field, including your kids.
  • When it comes to salary, offer your kids the market rate or more. It would be hard for them to turn their backs to this offer.
  • Create an agreement with your kids in terms of how far you will interfere.  You still want a say in the family business, but give them the right to decide most of the time. 
  • Do some upgrade in the equipment and renovation in the workplace. A good working environment creates positive vibes for everybody. 

Conclusion
It is a great feeling and adds to your peace of mind, if your children are willing and able to take over the family business when the time comes that you will retire. But, be also prepared to accept that none of your kids will continue the job for the family.

There are so many things that you need to prepare before you retire. Make sure you have life insurance to help your family run your business when you are too old enough to do it, or simply gone. At Old Bay Insurance Agency, we aim to provide comprehensive insurance policies that makes your life easier.
