It makes you wonder how many companies were sold to private equity to avoid having to leave control to a family member. I know of a very large company that was until recently family owned, and the kids work as executives in the company, and yet it was sold to private investors.

If you can pull off the sale, it’s certainly a “safer” option to leave your family with cash & equities than a frail single business.
