Who can be included in my German residency permit for self-employment application?

If I apply for a German residency permit for the purpose of self-employment, can I add my family members as dependents to the application? If so, what is the process? Are there any requirements regarding the ages of dependents?

The spouse and minor unmarried children age 16 or over can apply for family reunion visa/residency permit, if you hold a German residency permit for purpose of self-employment. The process would be: you set up a business/enterprise in Germany; you apply for German visa for purpose of self-employment; you apply for German residency permit for purpose of self-employment; your eligible family members apply for residency permit for purpose of family reunion; either minor children or unmarried adult children.
