Business transfer and generational change-over

In Europe, a major number of family companies have been set up acting as one of the key driving forces of the economy.

Based on experience, the process of assignment of family companies and businesses is generally often taken on late, leading to transfers to third parties and generational change-overs that entail a high economic and emotional cost whilst also entailing a major level of risk.

With extensive experience in this sector, we at AddVANTE consider the figure of the expert in this process of generational change-over to be essential.

Our consultants operate on two levels:

• Technical advice on the process.
• Managing disputes arising as a consequence of revealing emotions and feelings innate within the process.
