family ownership
Relatives hold title
Family ownership describes a business or property controlled by members of the same family, often across generations.
The term emphasizes continuity and personal stake: The winery has been under family ownership since 1920.
Family ownership can suggest traditional values and long-term thinking, or conversely, resistance to outside investment and professional management.
