This two hour interactive information session located at Knox City Council Civic Centre is for all family businesses situated in the municipality.

For generations successful family business have been the backbone of Australia and the economy. Representing 70 per cent of businesses across the nation, family businesses contribute greatly to local communities and employ 50 per cent of the workforce nationally. Blood, sweat, and tears are often the starting point for many family businesses. However, for continued and sustained success, more is often needed. For over two decades Family Business Australia (FBA) has helped family businesses on the path to their success. As the peak association for family businesses, FBA have been part of the journey for many family businesses in their growth from local family businesses to national and international household names.

• The competitive advantage of being a family owned business and how to leverage it

• Why succession planning matters
• The importance of good governance for family businesses of all sizes
• Resources available to your family business
