Joseph Giannone of Thomson Reuters features insight from Joe Duran, CEO and founding partner of United Capital, on future plans for the firm. "We're building a national firm. We want to be in all 25 major cities,” Duran says. A few regions the firm is looking to focus on include Memphis, Atlanta, the Northeast and Colorado. "Our goal is to create liquidity for our shareholders in the next few years. It could be in the form of an IPO or selling a stake to private equity or to a foreign bank seeking a footprint in the U.S.," he adds.
