“An estimated 80 to 90 percent of the country’s businesses are family businesses, and an astonishing one-third of Fortune 500 companies are family owned. More than 60 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product comes from family businesses, and they employ more than 60 percent of the country’s workforce. In other words, the overall U.S. economy needs family businesses to thrive.”
