peer agreement (net): +1family charter Explanation: Family charter refers to a written agreement between family members regarding business-related issues such as: ownership, voting/control and employment. A family charter may also be referred to as a family mission statement or a family constitution. Benefits of a family charter A written family charter can minimize family conflict by clearly laying out the "rules of the road" -- before specific problems arise. Family businesses generally operate in a very informal manner -- with family members entering the business and interacting with each other with unstated expectations of each other and of the business. Clearly describing expectations regarding roles, responsibilities, ownership rights and decision-making can help to reduce the likelihood of disappointment and conflict. (Schoeffler & Oak, 2007). http://www.familybusinesswiki.org/Family charter -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2016-03-30 22:06:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Familiestatuut Om onduidelijkheden en problemen zoveel mogelijk te voorkomen wordt vaak een zogenaamd familiestatuut opgemaakt. In dit familiestatuut worden afspraken die het bedrijf betreffen vastgelegd om de verschillende belangen van de familie in hun onderlinge relatie en hun relatie tot het bedrijf op elkaar af te stemmen. Ook wordt vaak geanticipeerd op hoe te handelen in geval van onverwachte (persoonlijke) gebeurtenissen zoals b.v. echtscheiding, overlijden, arbeidsongeschiktheid of zakelijke calamiteiten. Wat in het familiestatuut wordt geregeld is afhankelijk van de wensen van de betrokken familieleden. Ook de grootte van het bedrijf, de ondernemingsvorm, organisatiestructuur en familieverhoudingen spelen een rol. Sommige families kiezen voor een uitgebreid en gedetailleerd statuut terwijl anderen de voorkeur geven aan een minder uitgebreide regeling op hoofdlijnen. https://www.flynth.nl/nieuws/artikelen/articletype/articlevi... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2016-03-30 22:10:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We would recommend that any family business considers entering into a Family Charter. The Family Charter (sometimes called Family Constitutions or Protocols) are statements of intent or agreements entered into by the family members in relation to the family business. A Family Charter is a formal agreement between family members regulating their conduct in respect of the family business and although not normally legally binding, parts can be legally binding if this is required by the family. The Family Charter would normally set out confirmation of: •How the family want the business to be run •The goals and long term planning and strategy for the business •The family members’ different relationships with the business •How the family members should behave towards each other in the context of the business http://www.bannerjones.co.uk/page/family-charters |
