In family-run businesses, the family system interacts directly with the company system. Ownership and leadership converge. Decisions that are made in the company fall back on the family and vice versa. It is therefore important that the issues at the interface between the family and the company are clearly defined and regulated.

The strategic orientation of the entrepreneurial family forms the basis for the orientation of the company. Clarity and consensus within the family on the essential issues of family and business form a solid basis for the entrepreneurial activities. A strong family strengthens the company in the long term.

Together, we identify and regulate all relevant current and future issues at the interface between the company and the family in the form of a coordinated system of corporate and family governance.

If you would like to read up a little on the subject of “family governance” in the meantime, you will find plenty of input on our blog, but also on the Weissman & Cie. blog.
