Our Action

Promoting the case for family business to tax decision-makers

We give family businesses a national and international voice that engages opinion leaders. Few people, including those who make decisions on tax rates, understand the special contribution of family businesses to society. We speak out about the sector’s socially useful role in terms of long-term wealth creation.



International Family Business Monitor

At the FBN we are working to provide facts and data that give greater weight to our arguments. For example we manage the International Family Business Monitor that compares the contributions of family businesses to different economies. We pay particular attention to different taxation systems and how they promote or harm family businesses.

A positive sign is that, in some countries, tax frameworks are now making it easier to pass businesses on to the Next Generation. Our advocacy work has achieved results and will continue to make a difference.
