Leadership Lessons

What happens when growth outpaces the founder or when the business is ready for its next chapter?

Our second leadership panel brings together experienced voices to explore the strategic routes available to family-led businesses considering mergers, franchising, or preparing your exit plan.

Through real-world insights and honest conversation, the panel will unpack the opportunities, risks, and emotional realities behind these decisions from protecting legacy and values to preparing the business for long-term sustainability.


Whether you’re actively planning an exit, exploring expansion, or simply thinking ahead, this session will help you understand your options and make informed, future-focused decisions with clarity and confidence.
