Family Business Problems: Do Family and Business Meet or Collide?

These intersecting circles help explain the vast majority of family business problems. The way we see it, the overlap between family and business is an organizational problem, but people within the family business experience it as an interpersonal issue. That's why family members commonly blame each other for the situation. The senior generation sometimes blames the younger generation. And vice versa. 

You then have to ask: "what causes the family business problem and what's getting in the way?" It's difficult to find the answer without the expertise and insight of outside advisors. We can help to resolve family disputes and avoid family litigation.
