Family business...

"Family Business" is a trade magazine and a "guide for family companies". Family Business recently published a ranking of the top 100 U.S. family companies with multi-billion dollar revenues, last published in 2003. The current research was conducted in the summer of 2008. The ranking includes publicly-owned companies, such as Wal-Mart (#1), as well as private enterprises such as JM Family Enterprises (#27) in FL.

A family business, as defined here, differs from a home-based business, which would normally also be family-owned and a considerably smaller enterprise. One useful resource for researching home-based businesses is the ReferenceUSA database, to which the USF libraries subscribe.
