Family enterprise

We support you, your family, your business and your investments, to grow a more valuable enterprise, navigate disruptions and manage successful generational transitions.

What successful family enterprises do well is create value. Constantly. Generation after generation. They innovate and adapt at pace and at scale. They leverage the very disruptions that initially cause uncertainty into opportunities. With a nod to their heritage, they keep their eyes to the future and on the legacy they want to pass on to the next generation of leaders and to society.

As trusted advisors to most of the world’s largest 500 family enterprises, we are ready to support your family legacy.

Through the EY Family Enterprise DNA Model, we support the family enterprise to focus on four strategic drivers for long-term success: business growth, company capitalization, generational transition, and stakeholder liquidity. It’s built on experience drawn from over 100 years working with family enterprises like yours.
