Description

Creating a Business That Gives You Options 

 

A Business, Financial, Tax & Legal Roadmap for Business Owners 

 

You've built something great. Now it's time to plan what's next. 

 

Every business owner will eventually face an important decision: What happens to the business I've worked so hard to build? 

 

Whether you envision selling your company, transitioning ownership to family or employees, stepping away from day-to-day operations, or simply creating greater financial freedom, the decisions you make today will determine the opportunities available to you tomorrow. 

 

The best exit strategies begin long before you're ready to leave. 

Join us for Built to Exit, an interactive workshop bringing together four experienced business advisors who will help you understand how to maximize the value of your business, protect your wealth, prepare for ownership transitions and create a roadmap for your future. 

 

What You'll Learn 

 

Explore Your Exit Options 

Understand the different ways to transition your business, including selling to an outside buyer, transferring ownership to family, selling to employees or management, or retaining ownership while stepping away from daily operations. 

 

Build a More Valuable Business 

Discover what makes a business attractive to potential buyers, including consistent profitability, strong leadership, effective systems, predictable revenue and reduced dependence on the owner. 

 

Maximize Your Financial Future 

Learn how to align your business value with your personal financial goals, evaluate your financial readiness and prepare for life beyond business ownership. 

 

Understand Business Valuation & Tax Strategies 

Explore how business structure, financial performance, tax planning and transaction preparation can influence the value of your company and the proceeds you ultimately retain. 

 

Protect What You've Built 

Understand the importance of buy-sell agreements, succession planning, ownership structures, estate planning and other legal considerations that protect your business, your family and your legacy. 

 

Create Your Personal Roadmap 

Identify the most important steps you can take now to strengthen your business, improve your financial position and prepare for a successful transition—whether that's two years away or twenty. 

 

Learn From Four Trusted Business Advisors 

  • Merrill: Personal financial planning, wealth management and retirement readiness 

  • Honkamp Accounting Services: Business valuation, accounting, business structure and tax strategies 

  • Mitvalsky, VanVooren & Fox: Legal protection, ownership agreements and business transition planning 

  • ActionCOACH Business Coaching: Business growth, profitability, leadership development, systems and owner independence 

  •  

Who Should Attend? 

This workshop is designed for established business owners who want to build long-term business value, strengthen their financial future and understand their options for eventually transitioning ownership. 

 

You don't need to be ready to sell your business. You just need to be ready to plan for your future.
