LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ernst & Young is delighted to announce the launch of its Global Family Business Center of Excellence, a powerful new online resource. The center showcases Ernst & Young’s long and deep commitment to family businesses and provides access to the insights, experience and people they need to grow and succeed for generations.

Peter Englisch, Global Family Business Leader at Ernst & Young, said: “With over 90 years of experience and a professional network spanning 140 countries, we know that many family businesses share similar advantages and face common challenges. Today, 90% of our clients are private or family owned businesses, and we are committed to helping them to succeed.

“We understand the unique challenges that they face – and how to address them. The Family Business Center provides access to our unique “growth DNA of family business” model, which addresses every facet of the personal and business agenda, aligning our personalized range of business services to address the specific needs of each of our clients.

“Ernst & Young’s global convening power is second-to-none and the Center connects family businesses to their peers who have the same challenges they face. After all, nothing is more effective than learning from someone who has been there before you.

“And – in today’s economy – as companies look further afield for growth, the Center is a connection point to our integrated global network of family businesses so, wherever you are looking for opportunities, you know we are already there.”
