Family Business Advisory
Each family is as unique as the individuals that make up such a family; therefore it should be no surprise that no two family businesses are identical. Each family business has its unique challenges, conflicts, considerations, customs, aspirations, and philosophy.
Across the Middle East, and more specifically in the GCC Region, more than 80% of businesses are either family owned or family controlled, and the owners of these businesses sit at the heart of a complex web of choices and alternatives which will determine the future state of the business and the family.
Growth in income and the diversification of business-lines and/or geographies is only one of the challenges facing family owned businesses. The true challenge for most is the management of shareholder transition and business continuity into future generations – a task that is often easier said than done.

Managing family wealth, community philanthropy, and business capital market needs are other challenges which family businesses have to grapple with.
