Frequently asked
When should a family business adopt a constitution?+
Before the first ownership transition, capital raise, or material conflict — not after. Constitutions written under pressure rarely hold.
Does governance reduce founder authority?+
No. It clarifies and protects it, and creates a credible structure for the day the founder chooses to step back.
