Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to diagnose the situation of small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovakia, specifically in the family business segment, with an emphasis on the impact of the legislative environment on them. The article deals with the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and family business in Slovakia in general. Furthermore, despite the lack of a legal basis for family business, we compare the status of family businesses in the regions according to the selected criteria. Subsequently, through specific questions, we find out the preferences of family businesses in relation to the issue. In addition to general theoretical research methods, we also used specific scientific methods and techniques related to the processing of questionnaire data. Family businesses have difficulty applying multiple laws independently of the region in which they reside. To a large extent, they cause problems for businesses to apply the Labor Code, the Value Added Tax Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Despite this, we have further found that respondents did not consider the legislative environment as the greatest threat to their family business, but problems and conflicts in the family, succession and family tragedies. As regards the government's aid requirements in the near future, it can be stated that family business preferences vary depending on the region in which they reside.
