Expert Communicator Dr. Frank Luntz, Family Business Owners Describe Challenges of Running Family Businesses Today<\/h2>\nThe plight of America\u2019s family businesses are alive on YouTube with a video series created by Family Enterprise USA, a non-profit group representing the interests of America\u2019s family businesses.<\/h3>\n
The video series brings to life the challenges of running a family business today and the difficulties in handing down a family business from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe series deals with family business horror stories, unexpected tax bills that force families to sell, and how family businesses are working with legislators to create an environment for success,\u201d said Pat Soldano, president of Family Enterprise USA and its sister organization The Policy and Taxation Group.<\/p>\n
The YouTube video series delves into the worries of America\u2019s family businesses, representing 59 percent of the country\u2019s private workforce, or some 83.3 million U.S. jobs. In a recent survey by Family Enterprise USA and sponsored by BNY Mellon Wealth Management, it was found family businesses in America consisted of 23.7 percent in manufacturing, 10.4 percent in construction\/facilities, and 9.75 percent in real estate. Only five percent of family businesses today are in agriculture.<\/p>\n
In one video well-known researcher, political strategist, and messaging expert Dr. Frank Luntz talks about how critical family businesses are to America\u2019s economic fabric.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo message is more important than helping with the survival of America\u2019s family businesses,\u201d said Luntz. \u201cI know how significant family businesses are to this country, it\u2019s important in these times to understand the impact of these businesses have on our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
In another video, family business executive Casey Roscoe, talks about her formerly female-owned family lumber business, Seneca Lumber, Eugene, Ore. The company was recently purchased by Sierra Pacific Industries, another family-owned business.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current tax structure is devasting to family-owned businesses,\u201d said Roscoe. \u201cThe system is set up to favor large corporations that pay no taxes when leadership passes away, yet when our business is passed on due to our leadership passing away we have to sell everything to pay the taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The YouTube series also encourages family business members to offer their video stories to the channel by contacting the Family Enterprise USA website at www.familyenterpriseusa.com. You can find the series on YouTube at: (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCRhlzjM6H_FTYtXAbMaXOFg<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cThrough this YouTube series we hope to bring to life the importance of the family business to America\u2019s economy, and how we need to create policies that help this engine of our workforce thrive,\u201d said Soldano. \u201cWe also want to create an archive of videos on family businesses and their struggles. We hope family businesses from around the country will contact us and tell us their family stories.\u201d<\/p>\n If you have a family business and a story to tell about your success and\/or challenges go to www.familyenterpriseusa to submit them to us on the Contact page.<\/p>\n The full details of the \u201cFEUSA 2022 Annual Family Business Survey\u201d can be found at www.familyenterprise.com.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/pcgs22.privatecompanydirector.com\/page\/2058913\/register” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”If you\u2019d like to register for this event, please register now with promo code FEUSA22 to receive a 15% discount on your registration rate.
