What Comes First When Business, Family, Legal, and Home Pressures Collide?
The family enterprise had previously reported annual revenue around NT$2–3 billion, which later fell to a little over NT$70 million. Seven days on site covered litigation, a detained family member, religious conflict, altar responsibilities, several homes, factory movement, cash flow, and management. The client later reported a recovery to around NT$1 billion, followed by a more stable NT$1.5–1.6 billion range.

CASE SUMMARY
What did the client first ask, and what did the work actually address?
For business owners whose company, family, assets, legal exposure, and overseas life cannot be reduced to a single consultation question.
How the Work Was Done
Multi-day on-site engagement and follow-up
Duration
Several on-site days with longer follow-up
Public Scope
Country, industry, company, family, and legal case are withheld; revenue is presented as client-provided ranges
CASE 01
A business once operating at NT$2–3 billion fell to a little over NT$70 million
The family had operated a factory overseas for many years. Before the crisis, the client reported annual revenue of roughly NT$2–3 billion. An accident, litigation, broken local relationships, management issues, and family disagreement later pushed revenue down to a little over NT$70 million. A family member had also lost freedom because of the case. The decision-maker was not facing a normal commercial downturn, but business, law, family, and religious pressure at the same time.
CASE 02
The seven-day review included the factory, several homes, and ancestral or religious responsibilities
I remained on location for about seven days. The work covered factory entrances, offices, production movement, several residences used by the family, altar responsibilities, and conflict between different religious systems. Some homes were large, yet family members could not remain settled in them. The work included reorganizing altar placement, household movement and intake, selecting timing, clarifying the decision-maker's priorities, and directing legal matters to lawyers and local professionals. Confidential business strategy remains unpublished.
CASE 03
The first objective was stabilization, not an instant return to the former peak
The family needed to stop unnecessary spending, correct responsibility, rebuild external support, and keep the factory operating. Spiritual and home work was included, but it did not replace litigation, management, or cash-flow decisions. The client later reported revenue returning to around NT$1 billion in the following year and stabilizing around NT$1.5–1.6 billion in the next. That remained below the old peak but represented a substantial recovery from near collapse.
