continuity planning

structuring the family – good governance advice

When a family business starts to reflect over how to continue or discontinue their activities, regardless of which generation makes the challenging stand, there are questions to be asked:

• What is the essence of our business?
• What do we stand for?
• How do we deal with each other?
• How do we establish a proper shareholders’ agreement?
• What do we wish to accomplish?
• How are we organised?

Any family that wants to continue its legacy needs to do some serious planning if it wants to succeed. Is there sufficient passion to prevail? Is there sufficient cohesion among the family members? Can the family values live on? Are the objectives clear for all involved? Can you comfortably embrace both active and passive shareholders? Are there any hidden conflicts?
