Family Business Can Be Big Business – And Big Trouble

Put the “Family” Back in the Business and Thrive

As an owner or member of a family business, you know there is much to do to make your family business successful now and across the generations. Since family members associated with a family business often wear multiple hats at the same time, there is a set of core learned skills a family must possess in order to succeed together in business. Being related by blood or marriage is never a guarantee that family members will work together successfully in business.

Take our 5-question survey to quickly assess where you stand with regard to your family business. When you’re done, we’ll give you more info that can help you all thrive amidst the challenges of being a family and running a business.

Building Bridges

Family Business Survey

Merely being related by blood or marriage is not enough to ensure agreement about how to share a family asset. Sharing an asset requires intention and skill building. This index is to be completed by family members and will provide an indication of strengths, opportunities, and alignments pertaining to the critical skills required to share family assets.

All responses will be kept anonymous.
