From Owner-Operator to Enterprise Preparing Your Company for the Next Generation
A practical webinar designed for union painting and glazing contractors.
You’ve spent years building a successful business—but could it thrive without you?
For many contractors, owners remain at the center of critical decisions, customer relationships, estimating, and day-to-day operations. Building a company that can succeed beyond its founder takes time, and effective succession planning should begin long before an ownership transition is on the horizon.
This practical, contractor-focused webinar will help business owners and leaders evaluate their succession readiness, reduce owner dependency, develop the next generation of leadership, and build a stronger, more transferable organization. Attendees will explore the five stages of succession readiness, common mistakes that can derail a transition, and key considerations for family succession, management buyouts, ESOPs, and eventual business sales.
Whether your transition is five years away or simply something you know you’ll need to address someday, you’ll leave with practical steps you can begin taking now to strengthen your company, increase its value, and prepare it for the future.

Presented by Yindy Felkins, P.E., LEED AP, DBIA, Founder of Hard Hat Business Coaching and Consulting, the 60-minute session will include real-world contractor case studies and an interactive Q&A.
