THE COMMON TABLE
Find a useful resource, a different perspective, or the right kind of outside help.

A book about family ownership, governance and working through generational change.
Keep in mind: Reading does not include individual advice or implementation.

An article about business continuity, leadership succession and closure planning.
Keep in mind: General reading does not establish the legal steps or documents appropriate to your business.

Keep in mind: Both parties apply; admission, fit and a completed transaction are not guaranteed.

A book about continuity and succession in family businesses.
Keep in mind: Reading does not include individual advice or implementation.
Membership
SuccessionMatching (Matching network)
A matching platform for business owners and prospective successors.

Article collection
SuccessionMatching (Program / community provider)
A free account for introductory succession-planning articles, videos and resources. The matching listing is a separate paid offering.
Keep in mind: Matching listings are separately charged; preferred partner listings are commercial relationships.
Service
Vermont Employee Ownership Center (Service provider)
A multistep assessment of whether employee ownership fits business and owner goals.
Keep in mind: A free first consultation is advertised; the assessment itself is not assumed free.
Publication
National Center for Employee Ownership (Publisher)

Keep in mind: You need confirmation of feasibility, a financing plan, or someone to structure the transaction.
