Part 1 - Preparing your business for succession or external investment
You put a lot into building your business and its impact can be measured, not only in dollars and cents, but in the benefits created for your employees, customers, suppliers and the community.  Preserving value is critical for you, the entrepreneur, and also for all other stakeholders.
Trying to take advantage of the many opportunities you face can be a challenge without adequate preparation. A shortage of resources (financial or human) and/or an unrealistic plan could result in value being eroded instead of being enhanced during a transition.
Understanding how investors or buyers look at your business is essential. The right preparation, often years in advance of a family transition or sale, will increase shareholder value and minimize disruption to your business and its stakeholders.
 
This interactive session covers the following key issues:
- How an investor or buyer looks at your company
- The role of Private Equity in full or partial divestitures
- Valuation versus price
- Preparing your company for sale or investment
- Considerations for family succession
- Tax planning concepts to maximize owner value
