Is Your Family Business an Asset the Next Generation Wants to Buy?

Value Builder™ helps you optimize the 8 drivers of value, which is critical as you prepare to exit and your child, or children, “buy in.” Whether you are selling your shares, gifting your shares, or the business will fund your payout over time, you want to leave it in the strongest financial position possible.

You’ve built a thriving business, but it is really much more than that. It is security for your team. It is a legacy for your family. And quite possibly, after decades in the driver’s seat, your business may have become your identity.

Founders are often more than ready to walk away from the firefighting of business ownership, but find it challenging to yield full control to new owners who also happen to be their offspring. I frequently hear family business owners say that they just aren’t confident that their son or daughter is truly “ready.” Even though the next generation is typically eager to take control, they are also intimidated by the opportunity, insecure about their ability to handle the financial and operational responsibilities.

Value Builder™ Boosts Company Value While Preparing the Next Generation, and the Business, for New Ownership

When it comes to passing on your family business, you want to ensure that you are passing down an asset that the next generation is excited to take on—a company that is on strong financial footing with the potential to grow. After all, your payout depends on that, and if you have more than one son or daughter coming in as owners (or multiple branches of a family tree), your business must grow in order to provide for new shareholders in the same way it provided for you.

That is where the Value Builder System™ comes in. This proven methodology can significantly boost your business's value, whether you're a founder planning your exit or a successor gearing up to take the reins. In fact, businesses that utilize the Value Builder System can see their value increase by up to 71%.

As impressive as that claim is, as a Certified Value Builder coach I will tell you that the biggest advantage is the development opportunity it affords the next generation. Each coaching module produces custom strategies that these emerging leaders run with, building their confidence as they rally a new team behind their ideas—ideas that deliver results.

Value Builder Mastermind Groups Forming Now

Why figure it out all alone? Mastermind groups are an affordable way to bring together non-competing business owners, or their successors, as they prepare to transition their business to the next generation.

Each month, we dive into a different Value Builder module during our Mastermind meetings. Group members have the advantage of peer learning, and developing meaningful connection with other family businesses who are wrestling with the same issues.

Between sessions, you’ll have access to your company’s private coaching platform. It will be filled with engaging video content, practical exercises, and actionable tools tailored to your business operations. During meetings, your Certified Value Builder Coach and your peers will help you apply what you’ve learned, guiding you through any challenges and helping you implement new strategies effectively.

By joining a Value Builder™ Mastermind, you’re not just preparing your business for the future—you’re actively increasing its value and ensuring it’s an asset the next generation will be eager to inherit.
