We Understand Business Owners

Regardless of whether you founded, acquired or inherited your company, you bear the responsibility of an owner.
 
You accept a customer’s criticism for a poor experience, even when something happens despite your tireless work to prevent it. You feel personally responsible for the promises your business makes to employees, vendors and clients.
 
Justifiably, you have pride in what you’ve accomplished. You create the opportunity for people to grow, learn, and support their families. You teach, create, define, and solve problems that other people find overwhelming.
 
Cogs MPN Inc. Exit Planning for Business OwnersThe owners of privately held companies create almost two-thirds of the new jobs in the United States. They employ half the workforce, yet they comprise only about 3% of the population. We know that they are each unique, but the challenges of running a business are common to all of us.
