Built for family businessesWritten down beats
“we already talked about it.”

The jobs, the renewals, the plan for next year and the handover nobody has started, in one space the people in the business can open. Separate from your own list, and separate from whatever gets decided at Sunday lunch.

✦ The problem

Nothing gets written down, because you all already know.

Decisions get made in a kitchen, at a van window, halfway through a Sunday. Everyone was there, so nobody writes it down — and three weeks later there are two versions of what was agreed, and one of them had a date attached.

🗣️
Agreed in passing, remembered differently
A conversation is not a record. When the plan lives in what everybody remembers, the argument is never about the work — it is about what was said, which is an argument nobody can win.
🧭
Roles blur, so the work does too
Nobody is quite sure whether chasing the supplier is your job or your father’s. So it gets done twice, or by neither, and either way somebody is irritated by the end of the week.
🏠
There is no end of the working day
When your colleague is also at the table, the only way to hand something over is to raise it over dinner. A written list is what lets the evening stop being a meeting.
🔑
The handover is not a plan yet
How the business actually runs sits in one person’s head, along with which supplier to ring and why the machine is serviced in March. The next generation inherits a job rather than a system.

✦ Four pillars, one system

Everything you're building.
In one place.

01 - Projects

The year, somewhere everyone can read it.

Give the real things a name, a date and a set of milestones: the refit, the second van, the year you finally take August off. Everyone in the workspace sees the same plan, so nobody has to be briefed and nobody finds out on the day that the thing they assumed was handled was not.

02 - Tasks

Jobs with a name on them, so nothing is done twice.

Assign a job to a person and it shows up as theirs, which is how a role becomes a fact rather than an assumption. Leave it unassigned and it stays up for grabs. Priorities and due dates keep the VAT return from competing with tidying the yard, and a comment on the job is a better place for the detail than a message at nine at night.

03 - Habits

One routine, a streak each.

The Monday order, the Friday cash-up, the monthly hour on the numbers that nobody protects. A shared habit is a single commitment with a separate record for every person — your streak, theirs, side by side on one board. A missed day belongs to whoever missed it, which is a better conversation than the one that starts with “you never”.

04 - Skills

The handover, recorded while it happens.

The books, the machine, the supplier who only ever speaks to one of you. Log the hours somebody spends learning each of them and succession stops being a promise about next year: it becomes a record, with a target level and the sessions that got there.

✦ Getting started

Up and running in under 5 minutes.

1
Create the business workspace

One person creates it and invites the others by link or email. They sign up free, accept, and land in the same space. Nobody you invite is ever asked for a card, and the first five people are covered by the one subscription.

2
Keep the business out of the household

The workspace holds the business. Your personal space holds everything else and stays invisible to everyone, including the relatives you work with. That separation is most of the point.

3
Let the record settle it

Decisions get typed in rather than remembered. When the same question comes back — and it will — there is something to open instead of two accounts of the same afternoon.

✦ Questions

Frequently asked.

Put the plan somewhere everyone in the business can open, and keep it separate from the household. In practice that means one shared workspace holding the goals for the year, the projects under them and jobs with somebody’s name attached — plus a private space each, so the business list stays a business list.
No. They join on your subscription and are never asked for a card. One Pro subscription, at $15 per month or $144 per year, covers five people in the workspace; a sixth or seventh person adds $3 each per month to your bill, never to theirs.
Yes, and it is the default. Every account has a private personal space alongside the workspace, and nothing crosses between them unless somebody moves it. What is in the business workspace is visible to the people in the business; what is in your own space is visible to you.
Assign it. A task assigned to a member shows up as theirs, and anything left unassigned stays visible to everyone as work nobody has claimed. That distinction is what most family businesses are missing: not a rule about who does what, just a record of who picked it up.
It can hold the plan and the training, which is the part that usually goes unwritten. Make the handover a goal with milestones and real dates, keep the how-it-works knowledge in notes inside the workspace so it does not leave with one person, and log the hours somebody spends learning the books or the machine as a skill. It is not a legal or tax process — talk to an accountant for that half.
Owners can do anything, including deleting the workspace. Admins can manage members and invites. Members can create, assign and complete work but cannot change who is in the space. Roles can be changed at any time by anyone above them, which matters more in a family business than in most.
No. There is no invoicing, bookkeeping, payroll, stock control or customer database. It holds the work and the plan around it — goals, projects, assignable tasks, shared routines and notes — and leaves the money to the tool your accountant already asked you to use.

You will talk about it again on Sunday.
Have something to open when you do.

One shared workspace for the jobs, the year and the handover — and one subscription that covers five of you.
