Thirty years ago, a groundbreaking study captured the state of U.S.-based, family-owned businesses. Now, we’re bringing it back — and we want you to be among the first to participate.
Join a landmark study of U.S. family businesses as we revisit and benchmark three decades of entrepreneurial evolution, generational transitions, and business transformations. Your input will help us understand how family businesses have evolved over time.
We want to hear from you — the family business owners who know firsthand the challenges you face and the support you need for success. Understanding how family businesses have adapted, grown, and transformed over three decades provides crucial insights into the backbone of U.S. commerce.
By taking this survey, you will:
- Gain early access to exclusive insights from other family businesses
- Discover how peers are navigating succession and fostering strong family collaboration
- Contribute to a better understanding of the support family businesses need today
The insights gathered will help family businesses manage transitions, make better informed decisions, and increase the probability of success across generations. Your participation will help document the journey of American entrepreneurship and provide valuable benchmarks for current and future family business leaders.
Join us in shaping the next chapter. The survey will take you approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
All submissions are confidential. In the survey, you’ll have the option to provide your email address to receive an email communication with early access to survey results, but it’s not required. You can still take the survey without including your email.
