Defusing the Family Business Time Bomb
by Jenifer Bartman, Evelyn Jacks
Knowledge Bureau
January 2, 2019

A new book by Jenifer Bartman and Evelyn Jacks was released in January, 2019 by publisher Knowledge Bureau. It addresses a common family secret that plagues millions of Canadians from coast to coast: what to do with the family business, at a time when Boomers are contemplating retirement. Will the company sell for the millions that owners dream about, blow up, or just wind down? Will family relationships survive it all?

The answer lies in the family’s ability to embrace change and work with purpose to build and transition a company that is scalable and has value beyond the original owner. But, at the same time, it is important to focus on the family relationships that will either suffer or thrive along the way. The reason? Even the most promising and profitable company could perish when the investment in the family business is marred by family conflict.

Worse, this is not the only factor at play. While it is normal for a typical family business to be inundated with challenge and change, seldom have so many potential threats been evident at the same time:

• Demographic factors: aging Baby Boomer owners have a limited number of potential successors.
• Disruption of key industries: new and complex business models and rapid digital/technological advancement could reduce expected valuations and make transition to new owners either irrelevant or much more costly.
• Dramatic change in the global economy: this makes strategic planning difficult, increases competition, and could escalate the cost of doing business, thereby shrinking profit margins.
• Uncertain tax rules: complex new tax changes, restrictions to family income sprinkling, and a new clawback of the small business deduction all impact profitability, investment opportunities, and access to capital. This challenge could be especially difficult for young entrepreneurs or successors who want to scale up the company for the future.
• Typical family business problems: conflict, apathy, sudden or emerging illness, or control issues can affect relationships, decision-making, and ultimately, the health of both entities: the family and the company.

Whether you are a long-time business owner getting ready to transition out, or a new entrant to the “gig economy” poised to grow and expand, you will appreciate this book for its contemporary and practical advice. It brings a common-sense approach to the challenges associated with building a company that has the potential to be sold to someone else in the future.

Defusing the Family Business Time Bomb is written by two experienced authors and business leaders who have helped the owners, executives, investors, and professional advisors with whom they work to prepare for the most explosive challenge in a generation: the retirement of the Baby Boomers and transition of their companies to a new guard, who face pitfalls and opportunities of their own.
