“In the Lead: Best Family-Owned Businesses” is a new recognition from SC Biz News that celebrates businesses that are family owned and demonstrate success across many areas.
In this feature you’ll read about what it means to be a family-owned business from the perspective of those on the front lines.
You’ll learn what inspired founders to start their businesses, what challenges they have faced and how companies have evolved, long-term goals for the businesses, how they’ve adapted to industry-specific challenges and the role these family-owned businesses play in giving back to their respective communities.
To be named one of the Best Family-Owned Businesses, a company must be entirely or substantially based in South Carolina.
These companies:
• Demonstrate success in the market through growth in revenues or employees.
• Have been recognized as a best workplace because of employee support programs.
• Show a high level of employee morale.
• Are able to demonstrate strong and consistent community engagement.
• Are recognized within their industry as a leader or as an up-and-coming player.
• Are responsible for a product breakthrough or some other innovation.
