CENTER FOR PRIVATE COMPANY EXCELLENCE

Welcome to Kreischer Miller’s Center for Private Company Excellence. For private
companies, it’s not just business… it’s personal.




A COMMUNITY FOR THE GROWTH AND PROSPERITY OF PRIVATE COMPANIES

The Center for Private Company Excellence is a community—live and
virtual—created by Kreischer Miller exclusively for privately-held companies.

We recognize that private companies are different. You face unique challenges in
building your business and you have a distinct point of view. For instance:

 * You think and plan for the long term, as opposed to the quarterly profit.
 * You make more prudent and conservative decisions because your own capital can
   be at risk.
 * Access to capital is limited and expensive, which can require significant
   reinvestment of your capital in order for the company to stay on solid
   financial footing.
 * You may be facing challenges from global competitors who are often much
   larger.
 * Shareholders often have their wealth concentrated in their stock.
 * Family-owned businesses have an additional layer of complexity in managing
   family dynamics, ownership, and compensation.
 * Taxation is burdensome on income as well as the value created in the company.
 * You may be facing significant succession and transfer issues as ownership and
   leadership are transferred to the next generation.

The Center for Private Company Excellence provides a forum for business owners
to interact and network with peers as well as gain access to knowledgeable
experts who provide valuable information, tools, and resources to help you
navigate these challenges and build your business.


GUIDANCE, TOOLS, AND SUPPORT EXCLUSIVELY FOR PRIVATE COMPANIES

As a private company owner, it can be difficult to find resources that address
your specific needs. So much of the business world and mainstream media are
focused on the issues affecting large public companies. But for private
companies, while the standard business goal to grow your business profitably
exists, individual goals of improving your life and having more control are
often just as critical.

The mission of Kreischer Miller’s Center for Private Company Excellence is to
provide advice and guidance to private companies, helping to improve both their
companies and lives. Throughout our more than 45 year history, we’ve worked with
hundreds of private companies, enabling us to create a community in which
private companies can network and learn from each other.

Our vision is to provide members of the Center the tools, guidance, and support
they need to grow their businesses and enrich their lives.


CPCE HUBS: RESOURCES FOR EACH STAGE OF YOUR PRIVATE COMPANY’S LIFECYCLE

All businesses go through a lifecycle. But private companies and family
businesses face unique challenges and decisions at each
stage. From organizing the business, to managing it to maximize profitability
and growth, to determining an exit strategy, while efficiently managing
taxes throughout, you are faced with a multitude of decisions. We provide you
with tools, resources, and support from peers to help you make more informed
decisions at each stage in your company’s lifecycle.
