THE COMMON TABLE
Find a useful resource, a different perspective, or the right kind of outside help.
Explore the selected resources and services for each family, with their different purposes and access explained.
Software
BizScout (Program / community provider)
A subscription combining business listings, deal tracking and research features.

Service
BMC Associates (Service provider)
Mediation for disagreements among family or non-family business co-owners.
Keep in mind: Confirm participation, confidentiality, mediator and fees; mediation does not give each party independent legal counsel.

A book about building a company that can operate without depending entirely on its owner.
Keep in mind: Reading does not include individual advice or implementation.

Cambridge Family Enterprise Group (Service provider)
Advising on family ownership, governance and generational transition.

Publication
