Family Business Management

When the Kitchen Table Becomes the Boardroom Table.

Family Business Management

Managing a Family-Run Business is Not the Same as Managing a Non-Family Business.

Sure, there are common business management principles that are used in family business and non-family run business.

But the difference lies in how business management principles can be applied and implemented in a family-run business.

For instance, in a non-family business, human resources and hiring is straight forward.  The most qualified person gets the job or the promotion.

But in a family business, human resources is anything but straight forward.  Does the oldest get the business, or the promotion?  Who gets to be the next majority owner or the next CEO?

What effect will these types of business decisions have on your family?

Managing a family business is unique.  And we can help you manage effectively.

 

We Understand the Challenges of Managing a Family Business.

Our Family Business Management Services are based on sound business management principles.

But we combine these principles with best-practices and strategies that work well in a family-owned business.

We have specialized services just for family-owned businesses.
