“Brad Franc’s presentation on succession planning at Catalyst Connection's Manufacturing Workforce Summit was practical, clear, and easy to connect with. He broke down a tough topic in a way that made sense and offered real steps you can take.

The six-step process and examples hit home, especially for business owners trying to figure out how to protect what they’ve built. Brad blends legal, financial, and personal angles in a way that feels doable.

Highly recommended for any leader thinking about what comes next.”

—Dave Rea, Managing Director of Organizational Development Consulting at Catalyst Connection


"Brad did a great job discussing succession in family businesses with the University of Pittsburgh Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence member community. His expertise shined through after years of knowledge working with family businesses. I highly recommend Brad and his book: The Succession Solution: The Strategic Guide to Business Transition."

—Robert (Bob) Stein MBA, Director of the Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence (IEE) and Associate Vice Chancellor for Innovation and Entrepreneurship


“Brad Franc produced one of the best presentations in AFHE conference history. His “THE SUCCESSION SOLUTION” program is the Roadmap to Success for business owners and the compass for business advisors. 

He captivated our attention with his insightful, interesting, and colorful strategies and practices in helping business owners and their families navigate to achieving success and executing the best outcome in the succession process.

His presentation was a master class in understanding the dynamics of the family enterprise!”

— Peter Dougherty, Board Member and Conference Co-Chair of the 2024 Attorneys for Family-Held Enterprises (AFHE) Fall Conference


“It is my pleasure to present this letter of recommendation for Bradley J. Franc.

He is an outstanding speaker who was not only incredibly informative, but who kept the audience captivated during the engagement.

Mr. Franc spoke at our event, the subject of the presentation was “Estate and Succession Planning for the Closely Held Business Owner”. 

Although this topic tends to be, quite frankly heavy and dry, Brad did an amazing job of keeping our attention and making it fun.

Our members left the event better understanding of the basic building block that they need to relook at or, in many cases, need to establish for the first time. Mr. Franc received very positive evaluations from our members.  

I would recommend Brady Franc without reservation.
