READY, SET, SELL! - Preparing Your Business for a Successful Sale

Thinking about selling your business someday—even if it’s years away? This seminar brings together four trusted local professionals, each covering a critical area of preparing your business for sale. 

You’ll gain practical insights from experts who work with business owners every day—not theory, but real-world experience. Together, they provide a complete, real-world view of what it takes to maximize value and exit successfully 

Topics will include:

• When you need to start planning
• How businesses are valued
• Steps to prepare for a sale
• The process of selling a business
• Most common types of transactions
• Preparing for SBA loan pre-qualification

You should attend if: 

• You are seriously considering selling, or transferring control of your business, in the near future – or any time in the next few years
• You have not yet given serious thought to what happens to your business once you no longer want to run it every day – or if you are no longer be able to run it every day
• You would like to understand how a typical business sale process works, who might buy your business, and how they might arrive at an offer price
• You already understand the basics, but wish to understand how to maximize value and minimize avoidable risks
• You do not really know how to go about developing an “exit strategy” that will deliver on your personal objectives
