There are thousands of family members operating successful business every day and employing vast numbers of Australians without any publicity or media attention. Private business owners are the ones who will eventually lead us back to better economic times. They put their personal assets on the line and don't look for handouts all the time. They work hard, always see a positive way forward, they have genuine core values and have a passion to create and build wealth for future generations. Without the many hard working private business enterprises the country would be in dire straights. Over 80% of registered businesses in Australia are privately owned companies. The latest research into family business highlights a key fact, that only one third of family business pass to a second generation and succession is a major concern right now.
