Summary/Abstract: Business support institutions are one of the pillars of innovative socio-economic development of the European Union. Tthat is why in the current financial perspective 2014–2020 they are in the group of entities covered by significant support, including financial support from the European Commission. This support is implemented on threea levels: macro (member countries, mainly under the Horizon 2020), meso (national) and micro (regional), for which separate programs for financing projects have been developed, the beneficiaries of which are Business Support Institutions. In connection with the above mentioned fields, the question arises whether the support programs implemented by the Business Support Institution in this way influence the development of companies, including family businesses. The purpose of this article is to answer the question whether family businesses use the support of Business Support Institutions and how they assess the level of services provided by these entities. The objective will be verified on the basis of surveys conducted as a part of the research project “Conditions for entrepreneurship and innovation in small enterprises” implemented by employees of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Industrial Policy of the Faculty of Management at the University of Lodz in the fourth quarter of 2017. The analysis of questionnaire surveys also allow to formulate the preliminary proposals, namely how diagnosed relationships of family businesses with Business Support Institutions can be strengthened.
