The 10 Questions Every Family Business Owner Should Be Asking
22m | Sep 29, 2026Welcome back to Who's Watching The Money? In this episode, Dan Daly and Paul Redmond from RDA Accountants tackle one of the most important topics for any business owner: the questions you should be asking yourself but probably aren't.
The big corporates have a board of directors who meet regularly to challenge, scrutinise, and ask the hard questions. But who's asking the family business owner? The answer, too often, is nobody. In this episode, Paul puts Dan in the hot seat with ten critical questions designed to expose the blind spots that leave owner-managed businesses vulnerable.
From key person risk to trapped wealth, from tax structures to legacy planning, this episode is a practical checklist for anyone who wants to protect their business, their family, and their future.
Whether you're a business owner, part of a family firm, or an advisor looking to better serve your clients, this episode will challenge you to confront the hidden risks and missed opportunities that come with running a business. Because if you're not asking the questions, who is?
