USA Family Business Day is a celebration of the family-owned businesses that power communities and economies across the United States. From long-established, multi-generational firms to dynamic family-led enterprises shaping new industries, the day recognises the vital contribution family businesses make at local, national and global levels.

​

Created by Family Business United, USA Family Business Day takes place on the second Thursday in September annually.

​

Family businesses in the USA are defined by entrepreneurship, resilience and a strong sense of purpose. Built on shared values and long-term thinking, they play a central role in job creation, innovation and community development.

​

Why USA Family Business Day Matters

​

USA Family Business Day shines a spotlight on these enterprises, recognising both their economic impact and the people behind them – the families who build, grow and sustain businesses across generations.
