WE SPECIALIZE IN FAMILY – OWNED BUSINESSES
All companies are different, but small, family-owned businesses are even more different from other firms.
Because Robert Anderson owned a small electrical contracting business, he knows that family matters play a major role in business matters.
In fact, what makes family-owned businesses so different is that you often cannot separate family from business.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 worse things that can happen in a family business is nepotism," 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 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 includes coaching, guiding, mentoring and improved communication to help assure a smooth transition.
