Dear Tushar,
It's indeed a great and valid question. To clear you, there is no particular answer for this question because it all depends upon to university to which you are applying. Ideally, family business is counted as your experience but you need to specify your job profile, working responsibility, salary and remuneration.
Most importantly, you need to give LoRs from your seniors and you must have to justify them that how this 'family business experience' helps you to gain the practical exposure of what you have learn in classroom and yes, good GMAT score (750+) will helps you in this journey.
