Can you buy a legacy?
And just as importantly — can you sell one without losing it?
Whether you are buying, selling, or preparing your family for transition, this episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and approach legacy with intention instead of regret.
In this episode of Inheritance to Income, Garrick Codrington Francis explores one of the most important and misunderstood questions of the Great Wealth Transfer: what really happens when businesses change hands and what’s at stake beyond the purchase price.
With millions of small businesses preparing for transition over the next decade, this conversation goes far beyond deals and valuations. It’s about stewardship, succession, identity, and responsibility for buyers, sellers, heirs, and families alike.
This episode speaks directly to:
• Founders considering selling their life’s work
• Acquipreneurs and investorpreneurs buying existing businesses
• Families inheriting responsibility they didn’t expect
• Anyone navigating legacy during the Great Wealth Transfer
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
🏛️ The Great Wealth Transfer and why 7–9 million businesses are expected to change hands
📉 Why only 20–30% of businesses that go to market actually sell and what happens to the rest
🤝 The critical difference between an investorpreneur and an acquipreneur
🧭 Why legacy is about stewardship, not ownership
📚 A personal story of a lost family business legacy and the conversations we never had
🩺 A real-world comparison of two business transitions: one relational, one transactional
⚖️ How sellers can choose the right buyer not just the highest offer
Inheritance requires instruction.
Legacy requires intention.
