Family Business Scaleup-ups: Breaking Barriers to Growth

This report from Family Business UK (FBUK), working with the ScaleUp Institute, presents a fresh analysis of the UK family business landscape. It focuses exclusively on mid-market and scaling businesses, using firm-level data from Companies House. It represents a first-ofits-kind approach to analysing Britain’s family business sector moving beyond other survey-based reports.

It shows that family businesses reaching the mid-market and scaling-up stages play a distinctive and significant role in the UK economy, anchoring jobs and investment in local economies while supporting long-term, sustainable growth that is internationally driven with strong representation in our industrial sectors and heartlands.
