Family Business: Enduring Success Or High Drama?
Family Business: Enduring Success Or High Drama?
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) February 15, 2012
This week, a powerful book, ‘The Family Business Road Map To Peace Of Mind’ has been released to Amazon. “The new book reveals a road map that is scalable and beneficial to family-owned businesses of all sizes,” remarks James Olan Hutcheson, Co-Author, President and Founder ReGENERATION Partners. “Often, family businesses are fertile ground for internal dissension, conflict, and stress. With this knowledge in hand, we wrote ‘The Family Business Road Map To Peace Of Mind’ in an effort to help family members address these challenges inside a family business context. To answer the question: Why did we select this audience for our new book? The answer is simple: family-owned businesses have, and will continue to have, a significant impact on global economies, while many have stood the test of time.”
To add perspective, these 10 family-owned businesses make substantial contributions to the GDP and shape our daily lives:
1. Wal-Mart/Owned by: Walton Family Annual Revenues: $ 421.8 Billion
2. Ford Motor Co./Owned by: Ford Family Annual Revenues: $ 128.9 Billion
3. Cargil/Owned by: Cargill & MacMillan Families Annual Revenues: $ 107.8 Billion
4. Koch Industries/Owned by: Koch Family Annual Revenues: $ 100 Billion
5. Carlson Companies/Owned by: Carlson Family Annual Revenues: $ 38 Billion
6. Comcast/Owned by: Roberts Family Annual Revenues: $ 37.9 Billion
7. News Corp./Owned by: Murdoch Family with estimated annual revenues of $ 33.4 Billion
8. HCA Holdings/Owned by: Frist Family with estimated annual revenues of $ 31.5 Billion
9. Bechtel Group/Owned by: Bechtel Family with estimated annual revenues of $ 30.8 Billion
10. Mars/Owned by: Mars Family with estimated annual revenues of $ 30 Billion
Enduring Success: representing the Top 10 family businesses in U.S. for 2011, generating $ 1 trillion in revenue++.
“Further, 1/3 of all companies in the S&P 500 index are family businesses,” adds, Mary Ann Zimmerman, Co-Author, MC, LPC, LISAC, and Managing Director of Mindability. “But what happens if the company hits a bump in the road? Or, if succession planning issues and arguments surface? With less than 30 percent of family businesses surviving into the 3rd generation, this could devastate a company unless they adapt tools and guidance from trusted experts.”
Given these generational odds, is it possible for these businesses to find a path to success? If so, where can family business owners turn to avoid high drama and get answers to tough questions? “The topic of self-help is critical for everyone, but even more so for members in a family business where the potential for conflict looms under the surface,” states François M. de Visscher, Founder of De Visscher & Company LLC. “The Family Business Road Map to Peace of Mind, is an important addition to the field of helping families achieve their financial and family goals. This book is a gem.”

Dansko Retains Culture With 100% ESOP
Dansko Retains Culture With 100% ESOP
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 10, 2012
Dansko announced the sale of the company to a 100 percent Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) owned S-Corp. Verit Advisors, a Chicago-based investment banking firm, was engaged by Dansko to evaluate strategic alternatives, including various ESOP alternatives, for the selling shareholders. Verit provided expertise in ESOP valuation and structuring, M&A, and Debt Placement alternatives, allowing Dansko to evaluate and optimize their objectives.
Dansko was founded in 1990 and is nationally recognized as a market leader in designing and distributing comfort footwear to over 2,500 U.S. and international retail locations.
Verit Advisors worked diligently with Dansko, alongside management and a team of professionals including Legacy Advisors and Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. The objective for primary shareholders, wife and husband Mandy Cabot and Peter Kjellerup, was to find an ownership and liquidity succession plan that did not disrupt Dansko, its culture, its people, or its future opportunities, all key assets of this top performing family business. The sale of the company to a 100 percent ESOP owned S-Corp provides Dansko with just that, as well as tax savings, extraordinary employee benefits, financial flexibility and the opportunity to continue as a B-Corp.
“Employee ownership allows us to continue our vision and preserve our culture, while engaging our employees, which has always been an underlying objective of our succession plans,” said Mandy Cabot, Co-Founder, CEO and President of Dansko. “We are excited for this next chapter under the 100% ESOP as we continue to live our values, expand our business, serve our community and bring new strategic opportunities to fruition.”
VERIT ADVISORS CREATE ESOP FOR DANSKO SHOE COMPANY
“This exciting transaction presented the opportunity for Verit to leverage and implement our core strengths in ESOPs, M&A and Debt Capital Markets,” said John Solimine, founding member and Principal of Verit Advisors. “Partnering with Dansko’s primary shareholders and management team to evaluate a full suite of strategic alternatives allowed us to structure an optimal transaction that achieved our client’s long-term objectives. It was an honor for us to be part of the Dansko legacy and to assist in their transition to a 100% ESOP.”
About Dansko
When wife and husband team, Mandy Cabot and Peter Kjellerup discovered their perfect barn shoe in a tiny shop in Denmark, they just had to share the shoes with their friends. When their friends tried them on, they told their friends. And just like that, a shoe company was born. The company generates approximately $ 140 million in annual revenue and has 175 employees. Located in West Chester, Pennsylvania the company prides itself on its 80,000 square feet LEED certified headquarters and its status as a B-Corp. The company has been named one of the best places to work in Philadelphia.
