Building Britain for Generations: A Policy Agenda for Family Businesses
Foreword
Family businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, anchoring communities, sustaining jobs, and building prosperity that lasts across generations.
Family businesses have helped build Britain for generations. This report will discuss what needs to change to ensure that continues. As we take this agenda forward, I hope it inspires fresh conversations and genuine collaboration with all who share our ambition for a thriving family business sector. I look forward to working with partners, policymakers, and our Members to turn this agenda into meaningful, lasting change.
This document sets out a clear, practical policy agenda for creating a fairer, more competitive environment where family businesses can thrive today, and for generations to come. Family Business UK (FBUK) is the UK’s largest organisation dedicated to supporting, representing and championing family-owned businesses. Family businesses make up the vast majority of businesses in the UK, employ millions of people, and play a vital role in driving long-term investment, regional growth and stable employment. Our Members understand that real prosperity comes from reinvesting deeply in their people, their capabilities, and their future. They prioritise long-term growth, stewardship and succession over short- term dividends.
