Business Transition &
Family Enterprise Advisory Services
Durward Jones Barkwell & Company LLP (DJB)
understands the complexities and challenges of
Family Enterprises facing a business transition.
We take great pride in supporting the success of
all clients while helping them transition in the best
way possible.
Statistics tell us that the majority of entrepreneurs
and their families have no succession plan. With
every generation, the chance of a successful
transition decreases dramatically for various
reasons. DJB recognizes the importance of not just
transitioning a business, but understanding the soft
issues around such a significant event.

various tools to provide solutions that fit your
goals, including:
Generating a Family Business Assessment

plan

business owner and their family. We use an
approach that covers three main areas – Family,
Ownership and Management.

and team members
