More than half of the UK’s small businesses are family-run firms, survey reveals

More than half (57%) of the UK’s small businesses are family-run, a recent news report in the local media has been able to reveal.

Based on national polls of 500 small business owners, 2,000 respondents, and data from the Institute of Family Business, the vast majority of family-hiring entrepreneurs said working with relatives had been good for business citing that their loved ones had more commitment to the company’s success, were better qualified and were more “knowledgeable”.

The research also found that six in 10 Britons would consider starting a business with a relative – 44% said they would go into business with a partner or spouse while 34% would look to start up with their mother or brother.
