This refers in particular to the sector of small and medium-sized enterprises, which are largely represented by family businesses. The aim of this paper is the evaluation of the environment and its impact on the functioning of family businesses operating on the market in Silesian Voivodeship. Conducted studies have shown how entrepreneurs evaluate the external environment of the company and to what extent the external environment of family businesses impacts their economic activity.
