Family Business Day

Family Business Day on 19 September is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the significant contribution family businesses make to the Australian economy, community and culture.

In Australia, family businesses represent 70% of all businesses and employ 50% of the workforce.

Many are known for providing essential services in our community, ranging from startup businesses to those that have been in operation for multi generations.

If you are a South Australian family business, you can access subsidised workshops to learn more about governance, succession planning and legal considerations.

The 3-hour workshops, part of the Small Business Fundamentals Program funded by the Office for Small and Family Business, are delivered by the Family Business Association in-person and online and will help you:

• navigate governance structures, systems and processes
• plan for future leadership through succession
• understand legal risks and liabilities.

Specifically tailored to the unique needs of family businesses, the workshops focus on core family business fundamentals, providing you with practical knowledge that’s critical to improve business processes and drive sustainable growth for generations, no matter your stage in business.
