  There are approximately 50 million small to mid-sized businesses in the US and 85% of those business owners plan to exit their businesses within the next 10 years.  Only 10-15% of those owners have started any type of planning. And fewer have started with an outside professional of any type (CPA, Financial Planner, etc).  And even fewer still have sought the advice of seasoned professionals who focuses on positioning the business for maximum value through strategies that, over time results in a “Commercial, profitable, sale-able enterprise that could work without the owner!” (In other words – A Real Business ).  At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will:
  1. Understand a proven, 6-Step structure for developing a Real Business that could work without the owner.
  2. Be able to list a 5-ways approach for growing profits in any business 61% per year.
  3. Be able to name at least two of the 7 top reasons why 85% of businesses on the market today will never sell – and how to plan to avoid them.
  4. List at least one key, strategic goal for 2019 that is critical for beginning the process of getting ready to successfully exit.
  Remember… Ready or Not, 100% of all current business owners WILL exit their businesses… Let’s Be Ready.
