Challenges and Solutions for Internal Transfer
Internal transfer of a business might seem like the ideal way to keep your legacy alive—but without a clear plan and the right guidance, things often fall apart.
In this episode, Matt DiFrancesco explores one of the most overlooked — and often misunderstood — succession strategies: the internal transfer. Whether to family members or key employees, transferring your shop internally presents unique challenges. But with the right planning, it also offers the opportunity to preserve your legacy, take care of your people, and avoid the emotional and financial pitfalls that come with selling to a third party.
