AB  - This study analyses whether corporate governance and financial features of private family firms are
different from private non-family firms and discusses the role of private family firms in regional
economic development. The evidence is drawn from a database of Portuguese private family
owner-managed firms in order to determine the differences in the management and experiences of
venture capital and other financing options. The main results demonstrated that family firms have
significantly lower ratios of leverage, are less interested in venture capital, have much more experience
in management and are less likely to be female than those in non-family firms. Our results indicate
that the financial development of Portuguese private family firms is also consistent with the moderate
tenet of family firms which could hamper their business growth and demonstrate that corporate
governance features assist the family identity and the ability to exert family influence.
