There are more than 5.5 million family businesses in the U.S.
Family businesses are the backbone of many industries, including  manufacturing, wholesale, retail, hospitality, construction, and many  service-based industries. 
Research shows that family businesses enjoy many competitive advantages  and contribute greatly to the economy, philanthropic causes and local  communities. Family businesses face a predictable, yet complex, set of  challenges that non-family businesses do not. These challenges, when not  addressed, can significantly hamper the business' ability to succeed in  the long term. 
While many of these family businesses turn to their trade association  for support and best practices for improving their business management  and operations, many don’t know how or where to access help with the  normal, predictable challenges that family businesses face.
We are proud to partner with trade associations and buying groups to  provide educational programs and resources to help member companies come  to terms with the challenges and opportunities of owning a family  business. From articles and webinars to in-depth programs and one-on-one  assistance, Service Industry Consulting is dedicated to  providing custom, compelling educational opportunities that support the  mission of our partner associations in helping their member companies to  grow and thrive.
