Governance facilitation
Family council & charter facilitation
Create a forum and written principles that keep ownership voice separate from day-to-day management.
Why a family council
When several relatives own shares but only some work in the business, informal kitchen-table decisions breed resentment. A family council gives ownership a voice without turning every management meeting into a relatives’ debate.
What we facilitate
We help you design membership, meeting rhythm, and decision rights. Together we draft a family charter — short, plain language principles on dividends, employment of relatives, conflict handling, and how new shareholders are admitted. The document is a living agreement, not a museum piece.
Included
- Design of council structure and agenda templates
- Facilitation of the founding meetings
- Draft family charter for your lawyer to review
- Guidance on when management decisions stay with the executive
Excluded
Company constitutional amendments and trust deed changes remain with your legal advisors. We do not chair operational board meetings unless separately retained.
