America\u2019s family businesses are expecting solid growth this year after an equally strong growth record in 2023, according to results from the new Family Enterprise USA Family Business Annual Survey.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Annual Family Business Survey<\/a> on the state of family businesses in America was the largest survey taken to date, with 789 respondents from 40 states completing the survey.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s family businesses are the largest private employer in the country, accounting for 83.3 million jobs in 32 million family businesses<\/a>. Family businesses contribute $7.7 trillion annually to U.S. gross domestic product, according to research.<\/p>\n

Despite headwinds from last year\u2019s high inflation, labor issues, and high personal taxation levels, the survey showed 61% of family businesses \u201cgrew\u201d in 2023<\/a>, while 12% posted \u201cno change\u201d in growth, and 27% said their business revenues \u201cdeclined.\u201d<\/p>\n

The percentage of growth was equally solid, with 38% saying their business grew by 10% or more, and 14% said their revenue growth surpassed 20%, the survey found. It was also found that 39% of family businesses grew at least 5% in 2023, while only 23% grew less than 5%.<\/p>\n

Of those businesses that felt declines in 2023, 56% declined by less 10% or less, respondents said.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was found that 40% of family businesses had sales of between $1 million and $5 million in revenues last year, while 24% had revenues of $6 million to $20 million, and 25% had revenues over $50 million. It was also found that 4% had revenues between $251 million to $500 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These results were also good news for job creation and compensation.<\/p>\n

According to the survey, 98% if family-owned businesses added jobs in 2023<\/a>, with 90% adding between one and 50 positions during the year. Some 6% of family businesses added between 51 and 100 jobs, according to the report.<\/p>\n

In terms of compensation, the survey found that 46% pay \u201cabove average\u201d salary and benefits, while 41% say they pay \u201caverage\u201d salary and benefits.<\/p>\n

The prospect of greater growth in 2024 for family businesses came through loud and clear in the survey results.<\/p>\n

The Family Enterprise USA survey found 74% of U.S. family business expect to grow at least 10% this year, while only 10% expect a decline.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the many challenges facing family businesses, this year\u2019s survey shows family businesses continue to grow, add jobs, and pay more than non-family enterprises,\u201d said Pat Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA and the Policy and Taxation Group, both advocates for family businesses on Capitol Hill. \u201cThis year\u2019s survey was our largest to date and the information in it we use to help educate our legislators on Capitol Hill so they understand the importance and size of family businesses in our economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key results from this year\u2019s survey<\/span>, conducted in January and February of 2024, are now available in an Executive Summary at www.familyenterpriseusa.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
