Simple Steps for Exiting Your Business (Business Succession Program)
Simple Steps for Exiting Your Business (Business Succession Program)
The 2019 Business Succession Program kicks off with an overview of your exit options and considerations for owners planning to sell or retire--whether in one year or ten. This is an excellent starting point for those of you who want a refresher or missed SBDC’s 2018 Business Succession Conference. You’ll need this grounding to benefit from future workshops diving deeper on business valuation, buy-sell agreements, negotiation, and much more. Participants will be asked to complete an 18 question self assessment beforehand. All participants will sign a Confidentiality Promise and agree to ground rules. Lunch will be provided.
