Family Business Circle

Our Family Business Circle strives to connect family entrepreneurs through targeted, small-scale events on topics that bind family businesses.

At the same time, we highlight the importance of family & corporate governance. Because as a Belgian family business, Delen perfectly understands how important this is. Our relationship managers and estate planners try to provide optimal answers to your questions concerning family transfers. Always in a familiar context and with a personal approach.

Why Family Business Circle?

Certain sources indicate that a mere 30% of family businesses manage to successfully pass on their business to the second generation. Looking at the third generation, the success rate drops to 10%.

It is safe to say that running ans transferring a family business can be a daunting experience. Simultaneously, maintaining a healthy balance between the business and the family, shareholders and individual family members is crucial as well.

Communication, a clear strategy and sound agreements are also essential elements to protect the future of the family business and assets across generations.

Family Business Circle - for today's and tomorrow's entrepreneur

Family Business Circle focuses not only on today's entrepreneurs, but also on those of the future. We also focus on the generation currently in their thirties, who are facing all kinds of milestones within their family and professional lives.  By entering into dialogue with them and involving them in the family discussions on planning and succession, we believe we can contribute to the continuity and cohesion of both the family and the business as advisors and facilitators.
