FBA 12th NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Family Business 'Sustaining the Competitive Edge'

Family firms are known to offer a 30% better return on investment than their non-family counterparts.  Family firms generally fared better during the Global Financial Crisis than non-family owned firms, for good reason.


Why do family firms have a better chance of continuing success, and what do they do differently?


Do you have a unique competitive advantage?


Learn how to discover and harness that advantage at the FBA 12th National Conference.
