Speaker: Fuel Your Future – The Ultimate Growth and Succession Workshop
Kendall Rawls

The propane and oil industry has long demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt and emerge stronger through times of change. In recent years, this resilience has been tested like never before. As the pandemic disrupted operations and introduced new safety protocols, businesses were forced to rethink their models. Additionally, the rise of large consolidators acquiring family-owned businesses and expanding national brands has changed the competitive landscape in many local markets. As a result, many second- and third-generation owners are now facing difficult decisions about the future of their companies.
Some owners have discovered that their children are not interested in taking over the business. Others have chosen to sell in response to high valuations or to explore new ventures. However, selling isn’t the only option.
For those who feel pressure to exit or are unsure how to remain competitive, there are strategic alternatives. By creating a well-defined succession plan, business owners can build generational wealth, empower key managers or family members, and continue growing the business they love.
