Help! I've Got Family in the Business

About this book

A guide to the recurring conflicts that threaten family-owned businesses, organized around ten 'time bombs': generational struggles, entitlement, communication breakdowns, unequal children, sibling partnerships, blended families, estate-planning mistakes, succession, management overlap, and the tension between family and business. Hugh B. Roberts, a partner at The Rawls Group who has worked with family business owners nationwide for over forty years, draws on real client stories, altered to protect privacy, to show how families have reached what he calls Succession Success. Written for owners who want their business, and their family, to survive the handoff to the next generation.
