Peter, If a family business is started with a new, or different, product to offer, they will make it for awhile. If the product flops, there goes the business. If the product is well received in the market, the corporations will come hunting. Then the only hope is that the family can hold on long enough to make it cost the corporation to take over, and leave the family members with a large nest egg.
