When you were a teenager, you probably often said to your parents, “You’re not my boss!” Well, for many young workers, their parents might just be their boss! Chances are, your favorite restaurant, boutique shop, and even the local upholstery restoration business is family-owned and operated, with children and parents working together to grow the enterprise.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about 90% of American businesses are either family-owned or family-controlled. Ranging in size from 2-person partnerships to large companies with hundreds of employees, these businesses account for 50% of the country’s employment and half of the GNP (gross national product).

Family-owned and operated businesses owe their success and prevalence to certain advantages that other companies don’t have. Bear these in mind when you’re looking for a contractor to do upholstery restoration, or any other work, for that matter.

• Family businesses strive to deliver the highest possible quality in terms of service and products in order to uphold the legacy established by their forefathers. They also have a strong drive to take the business to new heights.
• The Bureau of Labor Statistics says most workers stay less than 5 years at their jobs. Conversely, many employees at family businesses have been at the company for decades, or even since the business opened. With years of experience and unyielding loyalty, they are committed to an ethos that sustains the company’s longevity.
• Family-owned businesses often respond more readily than their competitors to clients’ needs. In fact, they often treat their clients as part of the family. If they are doing upholstery restoration, they do it as if it was for their own home.
