Family businesses are often wholly-owned, wholly-owned, but in larger ventures the family may simply have a controlling interest in shares, with family members members in positions of senior management. management. Family businesses face many of the same problems as small and medium-sized medium-sized businesses. But, some of their concerns are unique. Continuity, for example, is a major concern. Planning for succession might not be a big concern in the early stages of establishment, but it becomes a concern concern as the business grows and the founder is facing retirement. Seven out of ten ventures never get passed on to the second generation. Conflict among heirs is a common stumbling block to a smooth succession, succession, Cunneen says. Grudges develop in disputes over who should get control. control.

So too can the founder's reluctance to plan for his or her own inevitable retirement.

There is the assumption of communication, communication, but it is often not there." The survival of the family business should be of national concern, Cum neen says, as there are so many out there and they account for so many job opportunities being created today. 1 The FBDB is also awaiting confirmation confirmation of funding for a possible program program designed to assist mature laid- off workers interested in starting businesses businesses of their own. Many people in their mid 40's who have found themselves suddenly out of a job have set up micro businesses of their own in their homes, he said They never want to be vulnerable again by being an employee and they deserve a chance.
