All family businesses have a uniform requirement to comply with legal requirements for accounts, tax returns, VAT, Payroll, etc. Our history of supporting, advising and protecting family businesses of all size allows us to deal with you based on your circumstances and to give you the right solution for your business.
Over the years we have seen everything that can go wrong but also everything that goes right in family businesses and the margins between the two can sometimes be very small. If a business is planning for the future and getting the right advice from the most appropriate professionals at the key times, the chances of success are much greater.
At Armstrong Watson we don’t just support you with your compliance requirements, we want to understand your business, the challenges you face, and through our mutual partnership, ensure you grow to become the best you can be.
Family, Privately Owned and Owner-Managed Business Survey Report 2025
Our 2025 survey gathered the views from over 850 business owners throughout the UK. We asked family-owned, privately-owned and owner-managed businesses to share their views on the opportunities and challenges they face – both now and in the next three years – gathering opinion in four key areas: people, technology, innovation and growth, and planning to let go. The responses provide a unique insight into the current focus for those operating independent businesses in the UK, and allow us to better understand their worries, concerns and areas in which they require extra support.
