Will any of your children take over your business?
 

Will your child(ren) take over your business when it's time for you to retire?

If so, what are you doing to prepare them?

Nope. My child has no idea I am connected to the adult industry. And that's fine.

I will never have kids (by choice) so It's thankfully not something i will have to give any thought towards...

I'm still sticking around but my grandson has taken ownership.

Yes. its written in my will that my child should take on all my enormous debts...

Wow. That's a pretty big secret to keep forever.

What business . . .

my kid has no interest in adult

I don't have child's and is not in my plans, everything will die with me

You should do a 'willy wonka' and have some kinda golden ticket contest, in order to choose a successor or summat... :2 cents:

Well your question depends on many factors, the biggest of which is will your child WANT to run your business if you leave it to him/her? Often times the answer is "No" and they are more interested in selling off the assets for cold hard cash.

It would also depend on when you retire (or die). No sense in leaving a porn biz to a 9 year old, for example.

My hope is that I sell out and leave the Adult biz behind and not have to worry about giving it to my (non-existent) progeny. :)

Do you wish they did?

Thanks to my pornographic income, I was able to finance the higher studies of my son who is now a commercial executive :2 cents:

Only if there was a major door policy violation in one of those Amsterdam dark rooms...

No... They will just get the assets my business buys.

Sort of like if I ran a bank.

I hope so :pimp

It depend what kind of business, as adult is not something easily transferable . But i think there was a movie with topic about some kid inheriting porn empire from deceased father.

Im lucky enough to have another non-adult offline business.. When he's old enough he can take over my roll in that company or do something completely different, whatever he wants.

When the time comes I will sell my VOD business ( including all licenses). NO kids and my nephew is a lazy fuck. I have disinherited him ( yet he does NOT know it) :thumbsup

Hey guys,

A few years ago I employed a younger cousin of mine. I was focusing on mainstream investment stuff at the time and was thinking I could train him up and let him run it and eventually own the business.

Little bastard ripped me off and it turned in to a complete cluster F.

I know you shouldn't work with family but I was helping him out, thought it might set him up.

End result is that I've kept the business, staff are fantastic and I'll just keep the cash cow forever.

No, not all. Not my concern

I can relate

damn that sucks

I have two daughters, 10 and 14, they have no idea what dad is doing really, all they know is that dad works with computers, has an office with colleagues they know for a decade.
I am slowly becoming desperate how to handle the situation..

Start doing mainstream and make mainstream become higher % in overall business.

Mainstream has no tits, pussy and ass-twerking. So I am not interested :D

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Yeah, I will give them my GFY account

I feel your pain. I have 3 daughters...the oldest told no friends what I do, the middle told a couple, and then it became a big thing during one of her classes where they were discussing what your parents did for a living. One boy knew what I do and called her out - when she didn't want to tell, the teacher was curious and called her out as well, and out it came.

They are 27 and 22 now.

I have one little one (12) left and I just don't have the care to try and lie about what I do...so she knows and a few of her friend's mom's know. The shock on their face is pretty awesome when they find out I will say.

I'm assuming you work in "porn" and well that would be hard for a man to explain to a daughter. I think my situation is much easier. I don't know what you will do.

What do you guys who have daughters who know tell them if anything? How do you think they feel about it?

when my daughter popped off I told her to give me back the money. That shut her up

It depends if they have a willingness on their own to work with computers and on the net like I'm sure many of us did back in the day. Eager to get home from school and get on the computer to tinker. If something breaks, try fixing it themselves. Finding ways to be a contributor to the internet rather than a pure consumer.
