In this research specifically addresses the issue of perception of managers of family businesses on the issue of succession, for which a comparison of group means in the rotation and size is classified performed the company. The aim is to determine whether there are variations in the perception of managers of family businesses in relation to the elements making up the succession and the different groups in which both the rotation and the size of the companies are classified. Company, family and property, and the application of the reliability of .862 was obtained with Cronbach Alpha:   an   instrument   of   Belausteguigoitia (2012) where three important elements for succession are shown as adapted. The results show  that  the  perception  of  entrepreneurs in relation to the succession varies in two of the three elements of the succession, these being (1) company and (2) family depending on the business of the company, which did not happen with the element (3) property. In the case of company size perception of individuals does not vary in any of the elements of the sequence.
