Family Enterprise USA is a non-profit organization advocating on behalf of family businesses. <br \/>A looming recession, sparked by uncontrolled inflation, is the No. 1 risk, with 27% of family business owners and executives mentioning it as their top worry, the study found.<\/p>\n<p>Availability of labor, with 22% mentioning it, ranked as the second biggest risk ahead, family business owners said. The survey also said 34% found the greatest impediment to business growth into 2023 was \u201crecruiting and talent retention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to taxes, family businesses easily found income taxes as their biggest tax concern, with 47% saying they were too high, according to the study. The next greatest tax concern was the Estate Tax, or Death Tax, which found 27% of family businesses stating it was a problem.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s family businesses represent 59% of the country\u2019s private workforce, or some 83.3 million U.S. jobs. Family businesses in America consist of 23.7% in manufacturing, 10.4% in construction\/facilities, and 9.75 percent in real estate. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe study shows our largest sector of employment, the family business, is in a battle against unfair taxation, the fight for top talent, and an uncertain economy fueled by decades high inflation,\u201d said Pat Soldano, president of Family Enterprise USA and its sister organization the Policy and Taxation Group. \u201cThe research points out that our multi-generational family businesses, built on years of hardwork and savings, are much more vulnerable and are treated more unfairly by taxation than many of the large, publicly traded companies, yet they represent our country\u2019s largest private employer,\u201d said Soldano. <\/p>\n<p>The other major risks family businesses cited in the study were government over-regulation (14.4%) and capital gains taxes (13.7%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way we can address these risks is to make the family business voice heard in Congress,\u201d added Soldano. \u201cBy making sure these concerns are raised we have a chance to make sure our family businesses are not shut down by over taxation, unfair estate taxes, or regulation that stifles growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the full study go to <a href=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/polling-and-research\/family-business-stories\/\">family business survey<\/a>.\u00a0 If you have a family business and a story to tell about your success and\/or challenges <a href=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/polling-and-research\/family-business-stories\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Credit&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/themadisongroup.com\/&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; border_style_all=&#8221;none&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5294 \" src=\"https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/MG-Over-50-years-of-Making-Legacies-Happen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"429\" height=\"122\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>About The Madison Group<\/strong><br \/>The Madison Group is one of the largest independent financial firms in the U.S. dedicated to comprehensive wealth preservation since 1968.
