The Family Business Thematic Committee within The Malta Chamber, together with the Family Business Office and with the professional assistance of EMCS, has commissioned updated research to gain a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the current situation of family businesses in Malta.
This study aims to explore a range of key areas that are particularly relevant to family-owned enterprises, including governance structures, succession planning, strategic priorities, operational challenges, and the overall outlook for the future. By gathering insights directly from family businesses, this research will provide a reliable picture of the realities, opportunities, and pressures that these businesses face today.
Your participation is extremely valuable. The information collected will help shape evidence-based policy positions, inform targeted support initiatives, and guide the development of training programmes specifically designed to address the needs of family businesses in Malta. The findings will contribute to ensuring that future policies and support mechanisms are grounded in the real experiences of family-run enterprises.
All responses will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Individual responses will not be disclosed, and all data will be analysed and reported in aggregate form only.
By taking part, you will be contributing to a stronger understanding of the family business landscape in Malta and helping to ensure that the voice of family businesses is accurately represented in future policy and support initiatives.
