Taxation and Consultancy in the Family-Run Business

To provide basic tools and knowledge of the framework within which the family-run business is managed. A study is made of factors including taxation, management and consultancy that are specific to the family-run business. The management of the family business has a series of special characteristics that differentiates it from other companies. It requires the combination of business and patrimonial-family interests, co-ordinated and satisfied without one overriding or interfering with the other, developing in parallel and avoiding the creation of conflicts of interest.
 
The programme develops and analyses consultancy aspects, for example inter-family relationships and relationships between company and family, processes of professionalisation and their impact on the permanence of the business and its adaptation to the competitive market. It addresses the financial parameters of both business and family and other fundamental issues such as asset management, funding, limits of indebtedness, financial planning, re-investment of profits, etc.
 
The legal-fiscal framework of the family business is studied in depth, covering both partnership and company issues, with particular attention to estate and tax planning, company structures suitable for the diverse needs of the family-run business and basic aspects to be considered in dealing with professionalisation processes and drawing up family protocols.

Directors and other family members with responsibility on the family council. Also managers and professionals employed in family-run businesses. The participation of several members of the family who perform different roles is highly recommended.

INTERACTION

One of the key elements of this learning model is undoubtedly the contribution made by participants themselves. Through exchange of experiences, they enrich the knowledge acquired both inside and outside the classroom. Selection of the participants, group discussions, business lunches and social activities all help to promote a dynamic exchange and sharing of knowledge between colleagues from different business sectors and fields. Participants establish friendships and a network of contacts for their businesses that will continue beyond the classroom.

METHODOLOGY ADAPTED TO REQUIREMENTS

ESADE Business School Executive Education programmes for managers are an open forum for ideas and knowledge in which each participant is an active protagonist in his or her own learning process. Our methodology implies a constant challenge to preconceived ideas and traditional teaching processes. Our research in the area and experience accumulated over the years tells us that there is no one single methodology. In every situation, the appropriate methodology depends on the objectives of the programme, the skills to be exercised and the attitudes and behaviour being reinforced.

DYNAMIC LEARNING

Classroom training includes participative classes, group work, presentations and virtual simulations, among others. This means that participants can set out and debate key management concepts and the design of the development strategy of the company.
