What is the impact of transferring a family business to the next generation? Textile entrepreneur Julie Lietaer (40), who took over the helm from her father in 2022, knows it is not always easy. "You need to be able to communicate very well; only then can you solve problems at their core," she says, talking about this key moment in her life.
The transfer of a family business from one generation to the next is a challenging and complex process that involves much more than financial and legal aspects. This is demonstrated by Zuidnatie, which has specialized in port logistics, cargo handling and storage in the Port of Antwerp for over 150 years. In 2010, Stéphanie Feys took over the helm from her father. In our most recent episode of Tomorrow Talks, Marleen Celen, Director of Private Wealth Management, speaks with Stéphanie Feys and shares some important points of focus.
What if a large company is interested in taking over your business: do you go for it, or would you rather stay at the helm yourself? Entrepreneur Lucas Brentjens faced this dilemma a few years ago with his company Yuki. But he remained active as an entrepreneur afterwards.
After years of devoting yourself to your business, there comes the moment when you step back. How can you handle this process efficiently and effectively?
To the outside world, selling a business often seems like a simple matter. You sell the company and receive a certain amount for it. The reality, however, is often different: because what do you do with the money that’s sitting in your account after the sale? And how do you handle all the free time you now have?
