Plan for the future of your business, as well as your own.

The statistics on businesses surviving through multiple generations are staggering. Just making it through the second generation is a milestone event for a business. Making it through the third generation is rare, making it to the fourth generation almost unheard of.

The good news is business owners can buck these trends with proper planning. This LIVE workshop, developed by MassMutual and SCORE, will help you plan for the next stage of your business, for yourself, and for generations to come. It includes succession, retirement planning, and estate planning. It is never too early to start planning.
