Pinion's Next Gen experts understand what matters most to you. By developing a long-term strategy that is reflective of your business and personal goals, together we will generate, assure, and enrich your legacy.
To successfully transition a business to the next generation, exit your business, or sell your business requires: dexterity when communicating with siblings or children, committed focus on grooming future leaders, impeccable timing in understanding when to make ownership and leadership changes, and financial expertise in minimizing tax exposure while maximizing operational investments.
Our experts can help to develop your next gen plan, navigate the transition, and protect the asset base you’ve worked so hard to build.

Discovery:
Developing your Next Gen Plan
Next Gen Strategy involves a path of discovery—the vision you have for your business and legacy—making sure that whoever you are transitioning your ‘blood, sweat, and tears’ to will be in a position to take over and effectively run the business.
Succession:
Building and leaving your legacy
Next Gen strategy also includes the development and deployment of your legacy plan. It encompasses trust and estate planning to create an enduring legacy that passes on your values in addition to your assets. It considers your life and goals to accumulate and manage wealth while minimizing taxes, as well as plan for life’s uncertainties and mitigate risks.
Your energy is devoted to the day-to-day realities of running your business as it should be. But proactively planning for the long-term future of your business gives it staying power. In fact, it can increase the value of your business and preserve assets, regardless of the business’ total value. Protecting your business and your family requires a succession plan.
