Description
Business Transition Lunch & Learn: Preparing You and Your Business for a Successful Transition
According to the SBA, over 40% of privately owned companies are considering a transition in the next 5 years and the primary reason is a lack of planning.
With the excitement of starting a new business or taking over an existing business, it’s easy to overlook the fact that one day, it may no longer fit into the current makings of your life. Whether you’re looking to retire, try out a different venture, or to simply get out of an undesirable situation, starting a business with the end game in mind is an important part of the process.
In this fast-paced Lunch and Learn Greg Lewis, Co-Founder of The Tennessee Center for Family Business, will help small business owners identify action items they can do right now to minimize their business risks, increase business value and improve their transition outcomes.
Topics include:
• Transition Planning is a Process not an Event
• The importance of having a Business Valuation
• Four Exit Strategies to Consider
• Develop a Contingency Plan NOW
• Make the Rest of Your Life the Best of Your Life
