Entrepreneurship represents the creation of innovations necessary for economic growth and development. The concept of family entrepreneurship in the Republic of Croatia has not yet been definitively defined. Family entrepreneurship is considered to be any form of entrepreneurship in which only members of one family and their first relatives, male or female, are active. In a family business, the knowledge, emotions and skills of family members are mixed, through which they want to ensure the growth and stability of the company, and to create prosperity and a safe workplace for family members. A family business goes through a certain life cycle that goes through several stages, and each stage is crucial for the survival of the company. The most important advantage of a family business is the desire to preserve what has been acquired, the unity of the family and its harmony, and the desire to achieve common goals in the family. In every family business, there are conflicts that need to be resolved in a timely manner, as well as decisions that need to be made for business operations in the company. The paper will present examples of family businesses in Karlovac County, using examples: Camp Slapić, Hotel Korana Srakovčić and Hotel Florian & Godler.
