XPX New England partnered with the world renowned Northeastern University Center for Family Business for an event guaranteed to spark thought and action, Finding the Right Advisors.

Every business has its challenges, yet most private companies do not consider having an advisory board. Are you missing this opportunity to get an outside view and advice? And, if you have an advisory board, are the right people on it?

XPX NE and The Northeastern University Center for Family Business both offer a structured approach to developing boards that they will share over this hour-long panel. Attendees will walk away with tangible steps they can take to build a stellar advisory board, along with hand-outs and valuable connections.

Moderator: Jack Finning, Partner, AAFCPA

Panelists:

Chip Johns, President & CEO, Butler Automatic, Inc.
Ted Clark, Executive Director, Center for Family Business, Northeastern University

In this session we focus on growing your business using both equity and debt. Our distinguished panel of bank lenders and private equity will describe what steps a business should—and should not—take to attract and qualify for bank loans and how to find the right equity partner.
