It considers projects aiming to support family business owners (especially in the area of family enterprise succession planning) and run between 2012 and 2019. Projects specified in the article were focusing mainly on training and consulting, and by the end of 2016 these forms of support for entrepreneurs were available occasionally only in selected regions in Poland. Only after new financial perspective was introduced, they were available in the whole country. Training and consulting offered within projects proved to be useful for beneficiaries through engagement of different parties responsible for the process of enterprise succession management.
