FBUK are delighted to launch two new family business User Guides containing thought-leadership and best practice to help support the next generation of family business owners, with Guides for the Senior and Next Generation in family business.
These guides form part of FBUK’s growing library of specialist tools and resources, complementing our existing family business Life Stages Model, and helping families navigate the nuances and dynamics of successfully running a multi-generational family business.
The guides cover topics of material importance to family businesses, supporting both the senior generation, and the next generation in family business.
The Senior Gen Guide is designed to help you support your next generation, as they tackle the complexities of finding their way in the family business.
It includes information on:
- How to foster the next generation’s interest in the family business;
- Supporting them to become the responsible owners of the future;
- How to identify those who could lead your business in the future;
- Managing the transition to new leadership;
- Finding your place and adding value to the business, as you step away.

It includes information on:
