NowGen Peer Group 

Of all the businesses that want to pass their family-owned business down to the next generation, only 30% make it through the 2nd Generation. This survival rate decreases to 12% through the 3rd Generation. And if you make it through the 4th Generation and beyond, your business is in the lucky 3%!† Family business isn’t easy. The Family Business Alliance (FBA) understands that. The NowGen Peer Group is a peer group that helps Presidents and CEOs navigate the turbulent waters that is called “succession”.
