Big Family Business is open for everyone's professional engagement and intervention. If you love our concept and have the drive to run with us, please shot your project over. Any unscheduled office hour could be possible for an autonomous presentation, discussion, project and so forth.

Once your proposal is accepted, your project will be taken as the Family Program.

This open process is part of the context research of BFB.
