WE SPECIALIZE IN FAMILY – OWNED BUSINESSES
All companies are different, but small, family-owned businesses are even more complex.
Because Robert Anderson owned a small electrical contracting business, he
knows that family matters play a major role in business matters.
That's where Robert Anderson can help. He has designed a questionnaire that is invaluable in determining where the lines are, and where to draw those lines.
“One of the worst things that can happen in a family business is nepotism, or showing of favoritism toward relatives and friends, based upon that relationship, rather than on an objective evaluation of personal ability” Anderson says. “Having an incompetent family member in a key management position can ruin a business.”Business owners, regardless of ownership or size, need the services of an attorney and certified public accountant when discussing nepotism issues or succession planning. But there is a lot of territory to cover before they need to be called in, and Robert Anderson Consulting can help.
“Succession planning is the difference between success and failure when transitioning a small contracting business from one generation to another,” notes Anderson, whose counseling services include coaching, guiding, mentoring and improving communications to help assure a smooth family business transition.
