This year, the Awards features two different succession categories: family transfers and entrepreneurial transfers.
The Family transfer category highlights private Quebec businesses whose owners have successfully handed over their companies to at least one family member. The Entrepreneurial transfer category highlights private Quebec businesses whose owners have successfully handed over their companies to at least one entrepreneurial successor.
