For a successful family business transition, you must first visualize what your life will look like after you hand off the company. Imagine, it’s the first Monday of your new life. What are you doing? Who are you with? Where are you? What do you look forward to doing?

- Determining your mission
- Deciding how to fulfill your mission
- Articulating the impact you aim for

Policy and Taxation Group is the leading information, education and advocacy organization working for the reduction and ultimate elimination of estate, gift, and generation skipping transfer taxes, and other taxes that punish hard work and success. Our Mission is to challenge hostile tax policies that meaningfully and measurably impact families and limit the ability of family businesses to remain family owned.
