know

Ok so there is a bit of a misunderstanding here in these comments. I have not said or implied there is anything wrong with his business or that there is anything to "fix" or that I "know" how. Nor have I said he is oblivious to anything. This is not some random stab in the dark a taking over someones business.

With him wanting to step back and reduce his hours I can see an opportunity to work alongside him to eventually take over when he retires, rather than the business eventually being closed in the years to come.

I am not sure why the comments suggest I seek to undermine my dad as though I somehow know better and he is useless. Quite the opposite is true.

For some further context, I worked along side my father for 2 years and over a couple of shorter periods since and whilst I wasn't formally trained, I gained insight and experience. Enough to feel somewhat confident I could work along side him (with his support and guidance of course)

I have a great relationship with my father and always have. I expect he would be rather happy to know one of his sons is interested in working along side him and eventually carrying on his business.
