GROUNDED IN
FISCAL REALITY -
Sage words from
Sarasota's past
. . . Our city is the hub of the service industry and everything starts with the independent businessman. He is not necessarily the 'money grab-bing' type people often visualized.
- Former Mayor Rita Roehr

Transfering Management in the Family-Owned Business The family business is a vital force in the American economy. About 90 percent of all U.S. businesses are family owned or controlled.
They range in size from the traditional small business to a third of the Fortune 500 firms. It is estimated that family businesses generate about half of the country's Gross National Product and half of the total wages paid.
The American economy depends heavily on the continuity and success of the family business.
It is unfortunate, even alarming, that such a vital force has such a poor survival rate. Less than one third of family businesses survive the transition from first to second generation ownership. Of those that do, about half do not survive the transition from second to third generation ownership. U.S. Small Business Administration Report
