Entrepreneurial & private business

Our commitment to family businesses

The pivotal role of family businesses in economies worldwide is underpinned by their unique long-term vision, values and legacy. These attributes are evident in their: deeply-embedded value systems, sustainable practices, agile decision-making and proud track record of innovation and legacy-building.

This distinctive set of characteristics gives family businesses a competitive advantage. However, this competitive advantage is threatened by today’s fast-paced change and radical disruption in the market. For family ownership, new perspectives of the next generation need to be recognised and addressed to ensure effective transitions are in place. That’s why we at PwC are constantly developing and investing in innovative solutions to help maintain and further leverage your family business advantage.

The role of family offices today

How wealthy families manage their affairs and control their wealth is changing. Increasing complexity, more public scrutiny and new regulations are just some of the reasons why many are turning to family offices to help them build a lasting legacy. Since every family has its own unique set of needs, there are as many types of family offices as there are families. Some provide basic administrative support while others oversee asset management or run the family’s daily affairs.

Our Family Office team is proud to work with family offices across the globe helping them preserve and then grow the wealth for current and future generations.

Private wealth

As a successful family business owner, you need a strategy for protecting your personal wealth and structuring it for growth. This is particularly the case within a global ecosystem characterised by increasing complexity and often duplicative tax regimes.

If you travel between, own assets in, or run businesses from a variety of jurisdictions, you require multijurisdictional solutions to your tax, regulatory and commercial issues. You need advisors who not only know all the rules—but also know how they will be applied to your unique situation.
