In this week’s episode, we chat with Mike Prencavage Jr., owner of The Family Plumber. In our conversation, we explore the challenges and complexities of executing a successful succession plan, especially when it involves family members. Mike Jr. provides a candid look at the ties that bind family and business, as well as the unique challenges that they bring.

Key Takeaways:

• Navigating the emotional aspects and differing perspectives between a founder and the next generation
• Strategies for determining a fair valuation, considering assets, customer base, and growth potential
• Structuring payment terms, including upfront deposits, sweat equity, and potential early payoff penalties
• The importance of documenting everything and setting clear action items during negotiations
• The value of bringing in a third-party evaluator to provide an objective assessment
• The benefits of leasing vehicles instead of purchasing them outright as the company scales
