Home of the Family Business Practice - The Place for Family Businesses

Family Business Practice is a unique Midlands-based business development networking organisation for owner-managed and family businesses and businesses that supply owner-managed and family businesses.

The Family Business Practice is for you if:

You work so you can have a fridge that is always full
You know things are going well when you can sleep at night
You think it’s important to work with people you know, like and trust
You are based in the Midlands
In other words, perhaps you want to make some more revenue, save some costs or get some of your life back!

The Family Business Practice is the brainchild of Peter Roper, the Family Business Man. He wanted to build a network of owner-managed and family businesses who understand that family businesses are different. In doing so, he wanted to help some of the 3 million family businesses in the UK to feel more valued and be more celebrated than they sometimes are.

Today, the Practice has over 120 members, across five locations ranging from husband-and-wife consultancies to businesses employing over 200 people. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all family businesses and they think, act and do differently to their corporate equivalents. It’s also growing rapidly, thanks to both word of mouth of happy members but also our active marketing strategy. You can find out more about how we promote the Family Business Practice here.
