Understand the challenges and opportunities that are likely to present themselves to brokerages in the upcoming year.

 

 

 

As the market changes, there are no longer just two options for an agent or broker.  Selling or growing a firm are still options - but "selling" doesn't necessarily mean what it used to.  During this session, we'll explore what mid-market firms are doing to differentiate themselves in the marketplace as they look to compete at a national or global level.

 

Most businesses can use additional cash and there will be times when a firm needs to look into financing routes to increase its available capital. Get an understanding of when the right time to raise capital might be, and why firms should look at raising capital - before they need it.
