FamBiz Afterlife Event, Blood Sweat and Tears, in partnership with Rathbones
3 September @ 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
For many family business owners, the most challenging question isn’t just about succession or exit strategy. It is about legacy, identity and honourably transitioning everything you have invested along the way.
Join us for our next FamBiz Afterlife event, hosted in partnership with Rathbones. We’re gathering for an evening of open and confidential conversation over dinner.
The Theme: Blood, Sweat & Tears
We’ll be discussing both the practical and deeply emotional realities of stepping away from a family business over a meal:
-
Blood (Family & Legacy): Will the business remain within the family or does the next chapter involve external ownership? What responsibilities do we hold toward the generations who came before us and those who will follow?
-
Sweat (Sacrifice & Value): Decades of early mornings, late nights, and personal compromises built this business. How can future leaders truly appreciate the weight of the effort invested before them?
-
Tears (Identity & Letting Go): Stepping away brings freedom, but it also brings a quiet sense of uncertainty and loss. Letting go well, with clarity and intention is a rarely discussed emotional hurdle.
Who Should Attend?
This event is designed for family business owners and the next generation who are either preparing for transition, actively navigating it or reflecting on life after the business.
The strength of the Afterlife group comes from the absolute honesty and shared experiences around the table. Whether your plans involve family succession, a management buyout, employee ownership, a trade sale or simply stepping back from daily operations, you’ll find valuable perspectives from people who truly understand.
