FAMILY BUSINESSES CONSULTING
Family Business Consulting - Clear Governance, Planned Succession, Smooth Leadership Transition
A family business carries two systems at once: the family and the company. Decisions about salaries, roles, property and who leads next get tangled with relationships, so important conversations are postponed. Meanwhile non-family managers are unsure whom to report to.
GullyBusiness helps families talk about the business in a structured way. We facilitate discussions, document agreed roles and decision rights, and prepare the company for the next generation. Legal, tax and valuation matters are referred to your lawyers and chartered accountants. Sessions are held with sensitivity to every family member.
