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.
