Last week, we released our newest booklet, “Corporate Finance in 30 Minutes: A Guide for Family Business Directors and Shareholders.”

We put this piece together to give family business directors and shareholders a vocabulary and conceptual framework for thinking about strategic corporate finance decisions.  An informed and engaged shareholder base is the most important factor in preserving stability within the family business.  Structured around the key decisions of capital structure, capital budgeting, and distribution policy, this guide is designed to assist family business directors and shareholders without a finance background in making relevant and meaningful contributions to the company’s most consequential financial decisions.

Whether you read the digital copy, requested a physical booklet, or haven’t gotten a chance to look at it yet, in this short video Travis Harms discusses three fundamental corporate finance questions that will help family business shareholders understand the basics of corporate finance and will ultimately result in more engaged and valuable shareholders.
