- Which do you prefer, family firms or non-family ones?
I personally prefer family firms to non-family ones. For me, there is something very positive about a company that was created and is owned by a family. When a company is family owned you know that the owners care a lot about the products or services that they offer, so for me I feel I can trust them more. When people do something with their family, they normally work harder and put more love into it. So, I prefer family firms to non-family ones.
