A panel of financial advisors discuss effective approaches for selling a privately held business
Event Details
Appropriate for the fall season, a conversation with a farmer would likely yield the opinion that a good crop doesn't mean much until it is fully harvested and sold. Similarly for a business owner, while not the object for daily attention, a critical part for a comprehensive organizational plan is intelligent direction on change of control to a successor.
This month will feature two knowledgeable business advisors to discuss effective exit strategies from a successful business. The pros and cons of possible transaction structures, and the methods for optimizing enterprise value prior to sale, will be covered. And beyond these financial issues, they will describe the emotional, qualitative concerns a business sale will have for owners, their families and key employees.
