In Andalusia, the Andalusian Association of Family Business has proposed a new regional law to support family-owned companies. Association president Juan Moya stated the legislation aims to ensure business continuity, facilitate generational succession, and encourage professionalization and sustainability. The regional Minister of Employment, Business, and Self-Employment, Rocío Blanco, expressed willingness to prepare such a law, noting that these businesses represent approximately 92% of the regional productive fabric and 79% of employment.

Similarly, in the Valencian Community, business leaders have highlighted the economic importance of family firms in Alicante, where they constitute 94% of companies and 85% of private sector employment. Maite Antón, president of the Association of Family Business of Alicante (AEFA), has formally called for the creation of a Valencian Family Business Law, noting that the region currently lacks a dedicated legal framework compared to other Spanish regions.
