In business A he uses an overdraft facility and loans from commercial banks for his cash flow, to run his bussiness, which he is paying intrest on. It has been suggested to him to sell bussiness b and some properties so that he will have enough money to run business a without paying intrest.he has had good offers for business b and his properties,however he is not interested.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.
Alhamdolillah, Allah granted you understanding of Deen that interest is haram. Continue advising your father with respect and wisdom.
There are two issues here:
a.      To buy a house on bond or to run a business with interest and loan.
b.     Ownership of the house.
It is haraam (strictly prohibited) to take an interest loan to purchase a house or to run a business.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَذَرُوا مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الرِّبَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ (278) فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ (279) 
[2:279] O ye who believe! fear Allah and relinquish what remains of interest, if you are believers.
[2:280] But if you do it not, then beware of war from Allah and His Messenger; and if you repent, then you shall have your original sums; thus you shall not wrong, nor shall you be wronged. 
عنابن مسعود ، قال : لعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم آكل الرباوموكله وشاهديه وكاتبه
Rasulullahsalallahualayhi wasallam cursed the one who consumes Riba’ a,
or gives it, or stands witness for it ormakes out the contractfor it.
However, your father will be the owner of the house. If he gave you the house or any moneys as a gift, it will be valid as your father’s major source of income is from halaal.
أهدى إلى رجل  شيا او اضافه إن كان غلب ماله من الحلال ، فلا باس به... (العالمكيرية ٥/٣٤٢)
Alhamdolillah, your father can afford to gofor Hajj or Umrah every year. You shouldcontinue to making him understand that the noorhe will attain from his Hajj or Umrah (or any other Ibaadat) may get spoiled by dealing in interest. Therefore you have to advise your father to abstain from interest bearing loans.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
