Three Points That Form Negative Impact:

 

There are three common points that have a negative impact on the family-owned projects.  They are:

 

• Fail to produce a written document: 

 

The most usual error that owners in a family-owned project make is the failure to produce a written agreement.  The owners feel that the written document is not necessary, when dealing with family members.  Some of the family members feel that asking for written document implies a lack of trust.

 

It is true that there are fewer chances of upcoming issues, if family owners understand the value of their relationship as well as the project.  

 

In case of legal actions, the written document is very essential.  To avoid all sorts of confusion and frustration with legal issues, a family-owned business need to keep a written agreement with the planning of the project. 

 

• Disregarding Fiduciary obligation in the occasion of a clash: 

 

All the entities concerned with a family-owned project hold a fiduciary responsibility for business owners. It implies to perform the best and treat each other fairly in all the project dealings.  The fiduciary responsibilities relates without considering the kind of dispute involved.  The fiduciary obligations also mark up from the beginning of the project to its termination. 

The law provides impartial set of guidelines for contaminated hands in solving certain disputes, and does not go for favoring a team.   Disregarding fiduciary duties can cause significant penal impairment claims from other family owners.

 

• No future planning: 

 

All the reliable family business owners fail to notice succession planning.  It is important to give attention to project succession planning by all family-owned project members.  Without a plan, the family members cannot work together effectively and ultimately fail to promote the business venture.
