What is the Family Business Talk?

A free, live conversation -
not a webinar.

Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, Rakesh Sharma takes one real question of succession and spends 30 minutes on it - explaining, in plain language, the straightforward answers most founders are never given. A new subject every time, never repeated, and a short live Q&A to close.

Family business is not about profit. It is about protecting the relationship while the business grows.Family first, business forward.

What you would discover
in these thirty minutes.

Rakesh Sharma - on the conversation most families never start

A clear order to protect what you built. How to grow the business and safeguard every asset - so nothing you spent a life building is ever left exposed.

The way to shield your family from the unexpected. The exact conversations that make sure the people you love are cared for, whatever tomorrow brings.

How to turn success into significance. Moving from a business that made money to a name that still means something three generations from now.

How to prepare the heirs, not just the inheritance. Handing over wealth is easy - readying the people to carry it is the part that lasts, and it starts here.

It isn't four boxes to tick. It's an order - each step makes the next one possible.

"Not a business book. A father's letter that happens to save the business too. Every promoter over fifty should read it before the next board meeting."

Who this is for

If you recognise yourself here, this was written for you.

For founders who built everything, and now quietly wonder who carries it next.

For the next generation already in the business, but not yet in the conversation.

For the women who hold it together the mother, the daughter-in-law, the sister who carry more of this than is ever said aloud.

For the extended family the relatives who share the same business, and the same future.

Please attend personally, along with your family. Some conversations cannot be delegated.

In their own words

Founders who have attended
Family Business Talk.

Why now, not tomorrow

The conversation only gets
harder from here.

  • Every year of silence hardens the positions and blurs the roles.
  • The next generation will not wait forever to be trusted.
  • The cost of postponing is paid by the family - not the balance sheet.
  • The best time was years ago. The next best is this Sunday.

Before you decide

Honest questions, honestly answered.

What is the Family Business Talk?

A free, live 30-minute conversation Rakesh hosts twice a month on Zoom, for founders and their families thinking about succession. A different subject each session - always about preparing the family, before the assets.

Will there be a sales pitch at the end?

No. It is a conversation, not a webinar funnel. If you would like to work with Rakesh afterwards, you are welcome to ask - but nothing will be sold to you on the call.

Will the session be recorded?

No. It is live and off the record, so people can speak freely about matters that are rarely said aloud.

My spouse, son or daughter would like to join - should they register separately?

Yes. Please have each person register with their own details, so everyone receives their own link and reminder.

What if I cannot attend live?

Because the session isn't recorded, we would recommend joining a later date instead. Your seat is transferable to the next session.

Is there any cost?

None. The session is free, and everyone who reserves a seat receives the Will Readiness Checklist by email.

Two minutes now -
or the conversation
you never had.

Sessions are kept intentionally small - please register before the seats are filled.
