What is a Family Business?
A family business can be described as one in which a number of different members of a family have an interest or influence. That interest can be active or passive, it can be employment, stakeholding or simply an emotional tie with the activities of the business
Why are Family Businesses so important?
In this Country some three quarters of all businesses are family businesses and they employ around half the entire workforce - yet relatively few survive in the longer term, only one in eight will get to the third generation - therefore family businesses need specialist help and advice to maximise their long term chances of success!
