Family governance
How to unite business and family under one roof
Make family and business play in tune. Let us show you how.
There are at least two points of view when it comes to a family-run business: the family’s and that of the business. As the business owner, it is up to you to ensure that the interests and values of both sides are represented.
To keep a competitive edge, your business needs a framework, rules and entrepreneurial finesse. There is no other way to secure the growth of your family business beyond trends, safeguard your family members’ interests, combine different goals, skilfully include advisers, settle succession issues, and steer clear of – or solve for that matter – any conflict that may arise among the members of the entrepreneurial family.
Make family and business play in tune. We can show you how.

Family governance with an owner strategy for the long run
There are existential challenges that you as the business owner will have to face: What is your family’s view on the family business, what are their values and goals? How are you going to secure the co-existence of family and business over generations? How are you going to stake your claim to leadership, how to keep the family shares? A leadership strategy will give you the answers to such questions. It is usually written down in the family constitution.
When it comes to leadership strategy, its implementation will be your chief obstacle. It is here that you can count on our outstanding family governance services.
«We drew up our family constitution with the help of PwC. They assisted us with a wealth of expertise and the right amount of sensitivity for our requirements. Their passion for family-run businesses is more than evident.»
Anna Aebischer-Imfeld
Chairwoman of the Board, Westiform Holding AG
«As an external Chairman of the Board of Directors, I really appreciate it when an owner family fully engages with family governance issues. The support from PwC was one very practical example of the value of doing so.»
Marc Jaquet
External Chairman of the Board of Directors for a number of family businesses
Family governance tools for family businesses
Answer tomorrow’s questions today
Owner strategy pinpoints your HOW, or modus operandi so to speak. But prior to that, you will have to conclusively answer a series of questions. We thereby adopt a holistic perspective that includes all global and tax-related aspects, and all those under company law. To make sure your training will yield the right results, we tightly collaborate with INTES, PwC’s in-house Family Business Academy.
