According to the European Commission a family business is defined as, a firm of any size, where:
• The majority of decision-making rights are in the possession of the person or his/her family who established the business, or who has acquired the share capital of the business
• The majority of decision-making rights are indirect or direct
• At least one representative of the family is formally involved in the governance of the business
• Listed companies meet the definition of family business if the person who established or acquired the share capital, or their families or descendants, possess 25% (25 per cent) of the decision-making rights mandated by their share capital.
