REGIONAL AND SECTORAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FAMILY BUSINESS UNITS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article&apos;s topic is to identify the character of family business units in the Czech Republic from the point of view of their sectoral and regional representation at the level of NUTS region 2. The paper aims to assess the significance of individual factors influencing financial characteristics of defined groups of family businesses based in the Czech Republic, categorised by region and sector. On a selected sample of family businesses, we examined their mutual differences based on data from their financial statements from 2020 to 2022 in the Albertina database. We surveyed almost 500 family businesses in the Czech Republic that provided data to this database in all three years. We identified family companies according to the region of the company&apos;s headquarters in the Czech Republic and according to the size of the company. The monitored signs are as follows: debt ratio, return on equity (ROE), and personnel cost to total costs. The results confirmed some regional and sectoral differences. Family businesses in the register of family business in the Czech Republic are micro-enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises. Large businesses are not on the register. The highest representation is in the processing industry, mainly metal processing. These monitored indicators showed differences in family businesses between regions and sectors of their operation. The largest number of family businesses is in the South Moravian Region and the capital city of Prague. We registered no less family businesses in the Karlovy Vary Region and the Usti Region (Northwest Bohemia). The statistical significance of the results was tested. The approach of family firms to debt financing is crucial here, as most firms are relatively risk-averse and mainly use their capital for financing.
