How Much Debt is Too Much Debt?

Ken Kaplan and Mark Majewski presented a DEBT -VS- EQUITY lecture during a recent Keystone Executive Leader Peer Meeting.

This discussion focused on finding the right debt and equity balance in business, as neither are “bad” or “good,” but must work together for the business to grow.

The presentation covered topics such as:

  • How businesses are financed
  • Should equity be raised to fund growth
  • When does it make sense to sell a percentage interest?
  • Key metrics in debt -vs- equity
  • Collateral and personal guarantees, and more

The Tri-Cities Meet & Greet

This intimate event was hosted in Johnson City, Tennessee, at Watauga Brewing. We met with industry professionals ‘over the mountain’ to expand our industry contacts in Eastern Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. 

This was a complimentary networking event for accountants, bankers, business consultants, marketing firms, and other professional service providers in the area.
