If your kids don’t want the business, could another family carry it forward? Richard Boyce and I talk about selling to a family office.

Richard comes from generations of business owners. His own family’s investment portfolio is being shaped around his children’s interests and values, which brings a different perspective to the search for a buyer.

We talk about why regional jobs can matter to a buying family, what remains when a family sells the business but keeps the land and how patient capital shapes an investment. The family on the other side of the table has its own reasons for buying, and those can change with each generation.

What does carrying on your legacy mean when the buyer has a next generation of their own?
