SMB USE CASE
Use Case: Family Business & Co-Owners
For many small businesses, the owner is the heart of the operation. But what happens if illness, travel, or an unexpected absence takes them out of action? According to the Small Business Administration, only about 30% of family-owned businesses survive into the second generation, often because no plan exists to keep the business running if the founder isn’t available.
Spouses, children, and co-owners worry: Will payroll go out? Will customers be served? Who makes decisions if I’m not here?
The Challenge
Over-reliance on the Owner: Staff, customers, and family may not know what to do if the owner isn’t available.
Uncertainty for Loved Ones: Spouses and children often feel left in the dark about how the business will continue.
Risk to Value: Without clear continuity, co-owners or investors see the business as fragile and risky.
