Divorce: Brother Leaves Inherited Business
What To Consider In The Situation
Having a business partner who is on your side during the daily grind and fight is great. Competing every day against the world in general is a challenge, but unfortunately, life happens, and when a partner wants to separate it can be messy and stressful for all parties involved. The dysfunctional relationship becomes a distraction and adds stress to your working partnership, and to the company cash flow as well. Looking for solutions and understanding the options
available are challenging when you are upset, and lack of communication between partners becomes the largest barrier to success as both parties are highly sensitive to each other’s words and tone. The internal challenge between partners is often picked up by the employees, vendors, and suppliers, making everyone stressed and uncomfortable.
Having a third-party advisor such as Exit Consulting Group® (ECG), who has no emotional involvement, can help facilitate the communication and resolution of some issues. Without the emotions and historical baggage of running the business together, outside help is often the only path to a successful solution.
How ECG Supports The Situation
There is no simple path to a partner separation. This is an emotional and financial distraction that takes focus away from the business, and takes all of our Exit Engineers’® core values: Emotional Intelligence, Intellectual Agility, and Integrity to facilitate a solution that works for everyone
.
We help our clients with all types of business situations, including partnership separations. As an independent third-party advisor, we do not represent one side or the other. Our position is always about focusing the continued success of the business and working collaboratively to find and achieve the WIN for all partners.
