The owner guide to business succession planning - what you need to know
Are you planning to sell your business, transfer it to family, transition it to key employees or continue leading it for years to come? If so, this workshop is for you.
This workshop is designed for established owner-operated companies where transition planning has meaningful complexity; management teams, employees, customers, transferable value, and significant owner equity.
During this interactive workshop you'll learn how to:
- Determine Your Transition Readiness — Assess whether your business could operate without you and identify your biggest risks.
- Increase the Value of Your Business — Learn the key value drivers that make a business more attractive and more valuable to buyers or successors.
- Understand Your Transition Options — Compare family succession, management buyouts, employee ownership, third-party sales, and other exit strategies.
- Protect Your Employees, Customers, and Legacy — Explore how thoughtful planning minimizes disruption while preserving the business you've built.
- Create Your Action Plan — Gain practical next steps and resources you can begin implementing immediately.
Join SCORE on August 19th for an interactive in-person workshop sponsored by Northeast Bank. The workshop will be led by Gary O'Hearn, a person with more than 50 years of experience in executive leadership and business consulting.
