Abstract
The article presents the financial situation of large family firms in Poland. In general, family businesses are identified with the small and medium enterprises, however, many researchers have confirmed that a significant number of large companies have one or several shareholders, who are mostly family members (La Porta, 1999). In Poland, the importance of family businesses is growing but researchers mainly focus on the analysis of those from the SME sector. Therefore, this article attempts to assess the financial situation of family companies which operate on a big scale.
