Business owners often face the question of what’s next – the decision between keeping and growing the business or transitioning it. Growing the business has its associated short-term rewards and long-term risks. Transitioning the business has the complication of whether it is in whole or in part; internally to the family or team; or selling to the nebulous third party.
