The Succession Planning Survey Results

Is your family business ready for ENTRY?
Is your family business ready for EXIT?

September 2022
Dear All
In September 2022, I conducted a survey of family businesses. Around 70 participants responded to the survey. I am happy to share the responses with all of you.
Family business succession is an extremely important element for the family business. As per 2017 report by Karvy Private Wealth – in the coming decade wealth worth US$ 128 billion (almost 10 Lakh Crores) will get transferred from one generation to another generation.

This wealth was generated by intrepid founders, entrepreneurs and business owners over a period of 40 years, which will be inherited by the next generation.

I hope this effort will help the family business fraternity to plan better succession plan for their business and help them successfully transfer their wealth, management as well as ownership control to the next generation.
I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
Warm regards
