Putting family business first
The Family Business Research Foundation is dedicated to promoting a greater knowledge and understanding of family business.
The Family Business Research Foundation was established as a registered charity in 2009 to foster greater knowledge and understanding of family firms and their contribution to the UK economy and society, as well as the key challenges and opportunities that they face. The Foundation is an organisation uniquely focused on understanding the UK family business sector.
The results of our research have become one of the primary sources of evidence on the impact of family companies in the UK and is relied upon by government, family businesses (as well as their advisers), organisations, academics and researchers to help underpin their decision making and actions.
