Yes, you can provide a certification or formal letter from your family business to document your work experience for your Statement of Purpose (SOP).

Make sure the letter is on official company letterhead, clearly states your role, responsibilities, duration, and key contributions, and is signed by an authorized person (such as your father or a senior manager). Including contact details for verification adds credibility.

Supporting documents or external references can further strengthen your application.
