Problems of family business for sustainable development

The problems, faced by family businesses, have been studied in a number of scientific publications, and most of them are related to insufficiency of financial resources, lack of the necessary management and economic training, or single-person decision-making.

The reasons for this finding are given, and specific guidelines for overcoming the problem are formulated.
