We also offer informative viewpoint articles, including KeyBank’s Stephen Fournier writing about businesses’ strategic use of credit, Hancock Estabrook’s Douglas Gorman laying out how to prepare for a capital raise with crowd funding, and columnist Bruce Grieshaber of Grenell Consulting Group tackling the topic of why owners decide to exit their business.
