The Dubai Centre for Family Businesses, part of Dubai Chambers, has launched the emirate’s first-ever directory of family business advisors, aiming to connect family-owned enterprises with a trusted network of 56 consultants across various sectors.
The initiative is designed to support family businesses in areas such as governance, restructuring, succession planning, and dispute resolution.
Advisors listed include those with hands-on experience in family enterprises, as well as certified professionals who have completed the Certified Family Business Advisor (CFBA) and Certified Family Wealth Advisor (CFWA) programmes—delivered in partnership with the global Family Firm Institute (FFI).
Each advisor profile highlights their credentials, areas of expertise, and contact information, making it easier for family businesses to find tailored support.
The certification programme, launched in 2023, aims to ensure family businesses have access to qualified professionals who can boost their long-term competitiveness and sustainability.
