The Business of Family Business Retreat

Ownership alone doesn’t guarantee that the next generation will build the required bond with the family business. This bond, called “Emotional Ownership” tends to take shape along three basic points: the company’s vision, the family vision for the company, and the individual. The competency of family members is a key factor that must be taken into consideration when issuing decisions as a part of the family business strategy.

Defining the relationship between the family and the business is an essential step that family businesses must take. What can the family expect from the business? What can the business expect from the family? How to protect the business during the transfer of leadership from one business to another?

Protecting the Family Business Reputation

Family Businesses should always aim to maintain good brand identity in the eyes of their customers and community. Traditionally, family businesses earn more interest from potential customers or the local community than ordinary companies.

Family businesses have the advantage of having the spotlight on them, and leveraging this opportunity comes with having good governance in place and the right marketing strategy to honor the generation who established the business and the next generation of leaders.
