The Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies Now 1 and 1/2 Years Old

What Is The Center For Wealth & Legacy Studies?

I have had a number of emails asking what this organization was all about, and I realized that I should probably introduce The Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies to the ACTIVE RAIN community. The Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies is committed to helping successful business owners and families 'pass forward' their financial success along with their core values and virtues that created their wealth.

Advisory Team Includes Diverse Experience and Professional Backgrounds

The Center brings together a diversity of advisory professionals with experience and professional backgrounds to identify and address the financial, wealth and legacy planning issues facing every business and family today. The Center's goals are to instill hope and provide small, closely held businesses with a specific roadmap for continued success throughout the generations to come.

Non-Profit Organization

Alan NevinThe Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies is a non-profit organization founded by a group of like-minded professionals (Bill Exeter, R.J. Kelly and Alan Nevin) who came up with this idea during a breakfast one day.

Alan, R.J. and I recognized that R.J. Kellybusinesses and wealthy families fill a vital role in building and funding the broader community, and our communities depend upon their energy and contribution.

We further recognized that today's media was doing an absolutely horrible job of providing valuable information, data and resources to help small, closely held businesses succeed in a challenging economic climate. Businesses needed more in order to succeed today.

William L. ExeterThese businesses and wealthy families needed better and more accurate information and resources so that they could make better informed decisions on how to navigate through these terrible times.

Failure To Pass Forward Wealth & Legacy Even One Generation

And, a recent study by nationally recognized family wealth consultants Roy Williams and Vic Preisser demonstrated that 70% of financially successful families fail to pass their business and wealth along to even one generation successfully.

Much of this failure comes from a breakdown of trust and communication within the family or a failure to adequately prepare their heirs.

The Center's commitment is not to just report on the issues, but to provide practical guidance on all matters of wealth and legacy planning to help the small, closely held business owner and wealthy families thrive in all types of environments. Through a variety of media and forums, The Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies provides objective clarity, expertise and perspective to local, national and international audiences.

Just Show Me The Money!

There is one common complaint heard again and again in today's challenging real estate market, especially when competing in the real estate industry today as a closely held small business. What is the complaint? It is lack of financing, lack of equity capital. It seems to be the one single issue that is most responsible for holding closely held small businesses back from growing and subsequently helping our economy move well into the recovery stage.

You hear the same old frustrated complaints from most of the closely held small business owners that you speak with today: They can't get financing to grow their business. No one is willing to lend them money. No one is willing to invest equity into their business.

Unlocking The Financing and The Equity Capital

However, there is financing and capital out there. Financing and capital is available to the closely held small business owner, but they have to know where to go and where to look for it. They need to know who to talk to. And, they must be prepared to look outside the box because they may have to give up some of their equity ownership in order to get the financing or equity capital investment they need to grow their business and take it to the next level.

Wealth & Legacy Seminar: "Just Show Me The Money"

Join The Center for Wealth & Legacy Studies at their next Wealth & Legacy Seminar this month on Wednesday, January 27, 2010, at the University of San Diego. The speakers and panelists will be addressing exactly this same issue of where and how you can get financing or capital for your closely held small business.

The Wealth & Legacy Seminar is appropriately titled "Just Show Me The Money." We hope to see you there.
