Can this be true?

It's not necessary to teleport the owner if it's during regular calling hours. If one of the family members goes to the lot first, and simply invites other family members by phone, they all become selectable by default. The annoying thing though, is that there is no way for them to leave individually. If one leaves, the whole shop closes and they all go home together.
Once back home though, only the first sim who left gets out of the car/cab. The other family members are still found to be in bed, gardening, tending the children, or what have you. Their needs are just as you left them, too. It's as if they never left home, except that they have relevant memories from their day at the shop, and their asps have decayed or refreshed, as per events at the business.
I haven't tried to to whisk the invitees off lot with the teleporter shrub, but that would be a tidy solution, if you only need them for a short time.

When I had a phase of playing OFB before Pets and Seasons distracted me, I used the teleporter a lot, and it's a lot quicker than using the phone. And if teleporting them in brings their inventory with them, then you wouldn't need to make them selectable for restocking the crafted stuff, but if it doesn't work, then making them selectable should, I think, do it.
I don't know whether moving everything to the inventory of the family member you want to send to the business might work, but I rather think it wouldn't.

Had to smile at that. I have given up with businesses. When I found that the owner had to be present for crafted goods to be restocked, I decided it just made a nonsense out of the whole concept. It's a pity there's no hack for that, either.

Pretty sure a hack was made for that by someone else, but the craftables business exploit is huge enough without restocking, since if you buy the store, and leave, all the items reload anyway. And if the owner isn't present, there's not much NEED to restock for this reason.
Squinge made the hack that allows craftable items to be restocked without the owner present. Try sims2graveyard. If it's not there, I can provide it.

You could have the business owner gift all crafted items in his inventory to the Sim who will be at the business and temporarily transfer lot ownership.

Well, I basically suggested the first idea, but the second one could cause problems if the original owner has the LTW 5 top businesses, and the Business concerned reaches the top while ownership is temporarily transferred, as the original owner would not get the memory.
