Abstract	This study aims to contribute to the debate on the determinants of the informal firms’ outcomes by focusing on the potential influence that the family background can have on informal business outcomes in Cameroon. Using data from the Survey on Employment and the Informal Sector (SESI 2) in Cameroun, this study shows that children of self-employed father and/or mother have a better value added, sales in some cases, than entrepreneur that parents does not have this status. This comparative advantage is strengthened when the transmission is between a father and his son or when the child, regardless of gender, is engaged in the same branch of activity as his parent(s). This transmission consists of the dissemination of a stock of human capital in the form of specific skills. Resume Cette etude vise a contribuer au debat sur les resultats des entreprises du secteur informel en se focalisant sur l’eventuel influence que peut avoir l’environnement familial sur la performance d’une firme. A partir, des donnees de l’Enquete sur l’Emploi et le Secteur Informel au Cameroun (EESI 2), l’etude montre que les individus ayant eu un pere et/ou une mere entrepreneurs realisent une valeur ajoutee et des ventes, plus importantes que les entrepreneurs descendants de parents n’ayant pas ce statut. Cet avantage comparatif se renforce lorsque la transmission s’etablit entre le pere et son fils ou lorsque l’enfant, independamment du genre, s’engage a son compte propre dans la meme branche d’activite que son pere et/ou sa mere. Cette transmission consiste principalement a une diffusion d’un stock de capital humain sous forme de competences specifiques.
