The purpose of this study is to analyze management in both types of companies. The research was framed on a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive approach, aimed at understanding and explaining the differences and similarities in family businesses in terms of the following aspects: succession, financing, governing bodies and professional performance standards.The study also has a documentary and field design. The results showed that there is significant evidence as to the claim that family and non-family businesses studied differ in the aspects examined.
