family-run
Kin-owned and managed
Family-run describes a business owned and operated by members of the same family: a family-run restaurant, a family-run farm.
The term suggests personal investment, tradition, and often multiple generations involved in daily operations.
It contrasts with corporate or franchise ownership: We prefer family-run hotels to chain hotels.
