XPX New England: Transitioning to Outsiders – Strategic Buyers and Private Equity

The process of selling a business can be a lengthy one, with many important decisions and roadblocks. One of the biggest challenges can be finding a buyer that is right for the company you worked so hard to build.  Join XPX New England for Who’s Your Buyer on January 14, 2020 to explore various types of buyers and how to choose the best fit for you.

Our experienced panel will cover owners' considerations when selecting a buyer, the benefits of selling your company to a strategic buyer, the benefits of selling your company to a private equity buyer, M &A lessons learned by executives who went through the sale process with their company, and portfolio company success stories achieved by private equity buyers.
