Protocol: Regulation or Framework Agreement?
When a family business begins to manage the relationship between the family and the business it owns, it must not (or should not) try to start regulating issues relating to work, money, power, or status without first making certain that all members reach a consensus on these four questions:
" Why do we want to form a family business?
" What family business model would we like to have in terms of the roles that family members will take within it?
" What should we expect of our business?
" Under what circumstances would we be willing to sell, wholly or in part, our stakes in the family business?
" Why do we want to form a family business?
" What family business model would we like to have in terms of the roles that family members will take within it?
" What should we expect of our business?
" Under what circumstances would we be willing to sell, wholly or in part, our stakes in the family business?
