PWC Report: family businesses can grow faster thanks to succession
According to PwC, one in three family businesses in Poland lacks a clear succession plan, which may limit long-term growth. Family firms make up 70% of all companies and generate half of private-sector jobs, yet many are unprepared for generational transition. Only 54% reported growth in 2025, down sharply from 88% a year earlier.
Experts emphasize that well-planned succession improves resilience, innovation, and performance, but many firms prioritize other goals. Key priorities include digital transformation, adopting new technologies, and strengthening business resilience.
Despite succession gaps, optimism remains high, with 83% of Polish family firms expecting revenue growth in the next two years.
