The Family Business Help Desk was created to be a complete and total resource for family businesses. When you have a question about family business issues, we can help!

For more than 40 years, Don Schwerzler has been studying and advising family business entrepreneurs. He is an internationally recognized expert in dealing with family business dynamics.

In the early 80’s Schwerzler organized the Atlanta-based Family Business Institute. The Family Business Institute was the very first full-service, multi-disciplined family business resource and recognized for pioneering many of the "success strategies" used by successful family businesses.

The mission of the Family Business Institute is to help family businesses grow, to help maintain healthy family relationships – and then, when the time is right, to help transition the business from one generation to the next, or to help prepare the business for sale if that is the better option for the owner(s) of the family's business.

Family Business Experts is the web organization that supports the Family Business Institute. Launched in 2001, the web site Family Business Experts is the highest-ranked, full-service family business resource site on the Internet.

The Family Business Experts web site has been twice recognized by the Journal of Accountancy, published by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA - the national professional organization of CPAs in the United States) as one of the Top 10 web sites on the Internet for information on succession strategies.
