In the US, 80-90% of all firms are small to mid-sized, family-owned or closely-held firms. Such businesses are responsible for creating nearly half of our gross national product. Yet, many consultants do not give family-owned businesses the attention they deserve. For this reason, many simply don't understand the complex dynamics that differentiate a family-held firm from a public corporation. Therefore, they often apply a "one-size-fits-all" solution to family business problems. At SCG, we understand that this often isn't the right approach. We understand that the family business is in a unique situation. The family dynamic and work dynamic are continuously interplaying. Both dynamics must be addressed in order to properly develop solutions to problem areas within your firm, or capitalize on opportunities. At SCG, we understand how this is done. We have operated our own successful family business for the past 15 years. Prior to that, we worked for 15 years in executive positions within a large international corporation. So, we truly are "been there, done that" types."The Schmitt Consulting Way"
