Abstract: The objective of this research was to identify and analyze the main factors that threaten the survival and continuity of a family business. For such purpose, we completed a documental and field research. For the field research we used a Likert scale applied to 38 owners of family business in the Center Region of the State of Coahuila in the year 2013. The objective was to measure reaction to the variables: discrimination between the family and managerial systems, confidence and reliability. The analysis relied on the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results demonstrate interaction of two social systems with scarce compatibility between them: family and business; the likely absence of trust among family member owners of the business and the fragile reliability of them are a core part of the problem that threatens survival and continuity of the family business.
