This Podcast Is Based on a Column by Susana Quintás “How to Break the Family Business Succession Curse».
In this episode, we dive into a fascinating column by Susana Quintás that tackles a harsh reality: the majority of family businesses don’t survive the generational handover. Why? Because succession planning is often left to chance—or worse, ignored entirely.
Susana’s insights reveal the secret to defying the odds: professionalizing management, setting up clear governance structures like Family Councils and Assemblies, and creating a solid Family Protocol. Think of it as the ultimate playbook for turning a «family owning a business» into a thriving «business family.»
With only 30% of family businesses having a succession plan, the stakes are high. But as Susana says, planning ahead is the key to smashing the statistics and building a legacy that lasts.
