INTRODUCING OUR SPECIAL HIGHLIGHT EDITION Family businesses are the backbone of Australia, with many of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest and most loved companies starting off as a family business. Iconic Australian brands such as Coopers Brewery, Akubra Hats, Raine and Horne, Haighs Chocolates, Maggie Beer, Myers, Ugg Australia and even our most famous Aussie cossie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Speedo, started life as a family business. The family business sector accounts for around 70% of all businesses in Australia. The average family business turnover is $12 million per annum and the sector employs 50% of the Australian work force. The average age of a family business owner is 55

years and the average tenure of a CEO in family business is 17 years. The Top 5 issues for families in business are: 1. Communication between family members 2. Letting go of leadership/ownership control 3. Providing liquidity for family owners to exit 4. Securing adequate capital for growth and retirement 5. Choosing a suitable ownership structure for next generation For more information, contact Family Business Australia 1800 249 357 or visit www.fambiz.org.au
