Private and owner-managed businesses

Private and owner-managed businesses: together for success

Private businesses are usually run by owner managers who face a common challenge: “How do I balance the pressures of work and business performance against achieving life goals and personal ambitions?”

No two businesses are alike, with different ownership and reporting structures, operational and business models. Your privately-owned business may not be subject to the same regulatory constraints as listed companies, but issues such as good governance, risk, tax, sustainability, supply chain and human resources will all impact your business at one time and in one way or another. Not to mention that appropriate accounting records and audits are essential when the time comes to pass the baton to your children, or if you wish to sell.

Individuals need customised support as their personal and business lives evolve.
