Raleigh, NC –August 1, 2007 - Wayne Rivers, Co-founder and President of the Family Business Institute announced today that the company has launched a completely redesigned website providing the most valuable source of family business information currently available on the web.

The site features a polished look with extensive resources for family and closely-held businesses.   The home page is now segmented into three key areas; Family Business Consulting, Performance Roundtables and Family Business Speakers, creating a more user-friendly experience for the business owner. Information on management and operations, wealth and ownership, family and interpersonal issues and succession planning can also be easily accessed. Other important features of the site re-design include: scrolling client testimonials found on the home page and recent family business news articles from major publications featuring quotes from family business expert and company President, Wayne Rivers.

“A lack of time is the number one barrier that keeps family business owners from examining these critical issues.  We want to make the most of the time that they choose to invest on our site so that they can learn about the issues that are essential to their success.  The family business owner is now able to quickly access information relevant to their business, viewing webinars, reading whitepapers, taking business assessments and using a myriad of other valuable resources to increase their success.  The new look and feel of the website more closely aligns with our company’s mission to help business owners make more money in less time with fewer headaches and a higher quality of life.” said Family Business Institute’s President, Wayne Rivers.
