Family Business

The engine room of the economy; Hood Sweeney understands the complex dynamics of family business and the personalities involved.

The strength of communication between family members is often the difference between a successful business and one that struggles. The facilitation and understanding of each stakeholder’s needs is the core foundation for multi-generational success and family unity.
