Family businesses are the most common form of business start-ups in the world. The family's entrepreneurship makes a major contribution to corporate income, both nationally and globally. The great importance of the company also has challenges. In particular, family businesses change from a founder to a successor or from a successor to another successor and the like and possible problems may arise. This can disadvantage the company, but to avoid this, numerous support programs such as mentoring, education, financial advice, tax advice and others can be used. The inheritors are divided into stewards and transformers, which differ depending on the use of the supports. Stewards are focused on education and business continuity, while transformers are focused on creating added value to the business. This paper outlines the forms of family entrepreneurship and examines the extent to which the inheritors of family businesses use support. Most of the successors of family businesses that participated in the study are not inclined to using support programs because they believe they do not need them, while a smaller part of the successor already participated in using some forms of support. The reason for poor use of the support programs can be attributed to the lack of information of both, heirs and current owners. Therefore, it requires more efforts in educating them about the available support programs because they can be extremely important in the future for the company.
