Pros & Cons of Family Business
by Alexis Writing

A family business is a commercial venture in which family members are involved. A family business can include many possible combinations, such as parents and children, husbands and wives, multiple generations, and extended families taking the roles of board members, stockholders, advisers and employees. There are some benefits associated with a family business, but there are also some detriments associated with undertaking a business venture with your family.

Pro: Loyalty
Family-owned businesses are theoretically ideal because family members form a grounded and loyal foundation for the company and because family members will often exhibit more dedication to their common goals. Having a certain level of intimacy among the owners of a business can help bring about familiarity with the company and having family members around provides a built-in support system that should ensure teamwork and solidarity. Other benefits of a family business include long-term stability, trust, loyalty and shared values. Families also tend to be more willing to make sacrifices for the sake of the business.

Pro: Flexibility
Families tend to be more lenient and forgiving when it comes to work schedules, work-related decisions and judgments, and even mistakes. In a family business, there may be more leeway to work a flexible or part-time schedule, or to choose your own hours, so you can tend to your children, parents or other family members in need.

Con: Possible Inadequacies

In a family business, business owners may sometimes automatically promote family members or give them a job even if they do not have adequate skills for the position. Just because the person is a family member does not mean he will be best suited to a given job, and a company that hires only relatives may end up having some bad apples. Sometimes skill and work experience may be neglected. Business owners also cannot expect all family members to love the business.

Con: Conflict

Family businesses bring up a lot of challenges. They can be a source of difficulty when it comes to issues on succession, sibling relationships, and identity development. Succession is one of the most difficult challenges that family businesses face and can become a challenge when the older generation does not permit the younger generation the needed room to learn, develop and grow. On the other hand, sometimes no one in a subsequent generation even wants to assume the leadership position in his parent's business. Oftentimes, relationships between parents and children, or among siblings, tend to deteriorate due to lack of communication within the family. This dysfunctional behavior can result in judgments, criticism and lack of support.
