They are everywhere around us from the corner pharmacy, to the sporting goods supplier, from the vast family farm to the multi-service conglomerates. But they come with a unique set of challenges when the businesses are bonded by blood and generation’s co-habitate. (Philippe de Gaspe Beaubien) And one of the big challenges is preparing the next generation to take on the responsibilities that come with the ownership and the business that they inherit.
