In unprecedented times, Customers, Culture and Competition are still the areas for private businesses to focus on, especially in preparation for growth, legacy, and transfer. The many issues of the pandemic including employment, supply chain, inflation, government policy and economic issues contribute to the ever-changing dynamic putting heavy pressure on successful transactions. XPX Greater Boston is here with our annual pinnacle event, Summit 2022, on March 9th at Nutter Law in Boston to provide the guidance needed to navigate these dynamics using the experience of the professionals and, more importantly, the business owners who have and are successfully moving forward through these challenges.
“Our plan at this time is to host a safe, in-person event. This is an ideal way to share the collective knowledge of the exit planning community in Greater Boston. We look forward to a dynamic program that will cover the current challenges in the private business market and provide attendees with information to help them navigate these unprecedented times to move through these challenges, ultimately leading to successful business transitions.”
