Around the globe, the vast majority of businesses are owned and controlled by families. The U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates that about 90 percent of American businesses can be defined as family businesses, which includes approximately 35% of Fortune 500 firms. Family businesses are an important engine of the U.S. economy, accounting for half of the nation's employment and half of the Gross National Product. Outside of the U.S., and particularly in emerging markets, family businesses’ contribution to their country’s economy are often even more significant.
Our goal at FamilyBusiness.org is to help these firms thrive by providing a free online resource that offers them the best thinking on how to launch, manage and grow their family business, all in one place. We aim to teach and inspire current and future family business owners, students in entrepreneurship programs, and professors and advisers who guide them.
