Hi there!
Yes, your experience in your family business will definitely be counted! Assuming it's been full-time, or close to full-time work?
One thing that may be a challenge is getting professional recommendation letters, as it's not advised for family members to write these. One option is to ask non-family members who work in the company (if there are any), or outside vendors, clients, suppliers, advisers, etc. If you have to, you could request a letter from a college professor but typically schools prefer recent professional ones.
At some point (usually after you've been accepted), most schools will run a background check and verify your employment with the company, and possibly request some of the documents you mentioned.
Good luck!

Hello.
I am in my Family business since completing my Engineering in 2014. Now I want to go for MBA in Canada.
I want to ask that will my Experience in my Family business be counted as a Valid Work Experience for admission in the University there?
I can submit all the required docs like ITR of our Firm etc.
Please help.
I really appreciate your response and time given.
Thank you.
