Family Business Corner
Family businesses are crucial to our economy in terms of creating jobs, generating wealth and building community. There are 5.5 million family-owned businesses in the U.S. They account for 57% of the GDP and employ 63% of the U.S. workforce according to Family Enterprise USA. An astounding 95% of family-owned businesses are engaged in philanthropy. We hope you will use the Family Business Corner to exchange ideas about family business. Please submit comments to individual articles or email longer articles and columns about family business to Leslie.Helm@tigeroak.com.
