Abstract
Using a sample of 1 701 newly started Norwegian private family firms, where the

CEO also is from the founding family, (family firms), in the period from 2000

through 2015, this thesis investigates the survivability, profitability and growth of

these firms. Comparing the results of firms with a high concentration of control

with firms with low concentration of control. I find that family firms have a higher

survival rate the first 6 years of business than that of new firms where no family

has more than 50% control (non-family firms). However, the probability of

survival converges towards the same value over time. When investigating

profitability, I find that family firms takes shorter to become profitable, but nonfamily

firms will catch up and ultimately become more profitable. In terms of

growth, I find strong evidence for non-family firms having higher and more rapid

growth than family firms. There has been increasing demands for research on

private family firms, and with this thesis I wish to supplement existing research

and set the ground for further research on private family firms. My thesis provides

evidence towards empirical research, proving owners of private family firms

being less diversified and more risk averse than owners of non-family firms.
