Family Succession

This type of transaction involves backing certain members of family management in buying ownership from the senior generation or from outside shareholders. By working with FCP in a family succession transaction, active family operators secure operating control and significant equity ownership, while gaining FCP as a financial partner for growth. In addition, selling shareholders achieve liquidity to meet personal estate planning and net worth diversification objectives. This transaction also ensures that the family business stays in the family and maintains its identity in the community. FCP has worked with many family businesses and is well aware of the importance of discretion and confidentiality. It is a special equity sponsor who deserves the trust of family business owners. FCP has proven worthy of that trust and has been chosen as the family business partner by a number of niche-leading family-owned businesses.
