Passing The Family Business

The LaSpina Family Story

The Family Business can be passed on to the next generation successfully if everything is done correctly.  The LaSpina’s family story is a success story.

John LaSpina is a second generation owners of Maple Lanes in Brooklyn, NY, and also owns five other bowling alleys on Long Island.  His children are now involved as the business passes to the third generation of LaSpinas and John’s son Joseph joins the conversation.

Not only do we meet John LaSpina and his son Joseph, we also have the input of Anthony Caporrino of Grodsky, Caporrino & Kaufman, P.C. and Jane Myers of Jane M. Myers, P.C. who discuss what makes a family business different from other businesses and what factors come into play, including pitfalls, when the founder of a family business is ready to pass the torch.

Statistics show that only about one-third of all family businesses are successfully transferred to the next generation and only 12% are successfully transferred onto the third generation.

Many family business consultants say the primary reason for this low survival rate is the failure to develop and effectively plan for the transfer of ownership and management of the family business.

The family business can be passed on to the next generation successfully!

And remember, FAMILY truly does Come First.

“The time is always right for family. All of us can relate, in one way or another, to the real families in our series. You realize that if you change a name or a face, it could be YOU. Family Comes First™ affirms that family and community are the answers. We need each other as we journey together through life.”
