To run the family business successfully, it is important to first manage all family business stakeholders effectively. Having the right family governance framework is the answer.

When crafted properly, it’s a powerful tool to resolve all issues among family business members. It is the bible that everyone needs to refer to when making decisions. Make sure your family has one. It should be the first one that every family business should put in place when starting an enterprise.
