Abstract: Despite their significant contribution to the present and the future of the Tunisian economy, family businesses suffer from serious succession problems that might jeopardize their sustainability. In this contribution, even though we can not reflect on the success of the family business succession process, we try to determine the process factors that may influence the perennity of family businesses. Our goal, in this article, is to elucidate the problem of the perennity of Tunisian family businesses from the angle of the succession success factors. We highlight, the perennity of the family business according to the four success key factors of the succession process including: the good relationship between the predecessor and the successor, the acceptance of the change of role, the role of the predecessor and finally his disengagement and withdrawal. We conduct an empirical study with a specific sample of 35 perennial Tunisian family businesses, in order to analyze the determinants of their perennity after succession.
