Family Business

Running a family business has great rewards but it also comes with challenges that other businesses do not face. We have a sweet spot for working with family businesses because we are one! We understand the nuances that come with working with family, and we love to see family businesses succeed.

Whether you’re looking for a non-family successor or simply need a top executive who will thrive in your family business, the Centennial team has decades of experience you can rest in. We are your partner who knows the questions to ask; which leads us to the best person for your organization.

It all starts with a phone call (888-366-3760) or form submission and ends with the hiring of an outstanding candidate.

Family Business Resources:

SUCCESSION PLANNING: why it matters, who should be considered for the role of successor, how they should prepare for their role, and how much time should be allowed for a healthy transition between the incumbent and the new leader.

BOARD of DIRECTORS:  what are some important things to know about the benefits, challenges and best practices for developing a board of directors for your family business?

WOMEN in LEADERSHIP: for decades it was generally assumed that a family business would be passed to a male relative.  That is no longer the case as people recognize the unique benefits that women leaders can bring to a family business.
