Event description

Have you thought about buying a business, selling your business, or planning for a future transition, but are not sure where to start? Whether you are considering selling to an outside buyer, passing the business on to a family member, selling to employees, or purchasing an existing business, this webinar will help you understand the key steps, considerations, and resources involved.

Join our Business Advisors for a practical discussion on both exit and succession planning and the process of buying a business.

Participants will learn how to evaluate business value, understand what is included in a business purchase, explore exit options, prepare for due diligence, consider financing, and negotiate a deal that works for both buyer and seller.

Topics will include:

  • Emotional and personal financial considerations when exiting a business
  • How to assess business attractiveness and potential value
  • Common exit options, including family succession, employee ownership, and outside sale
  • Timing considerations for selling or transitioning a business
  • What you are actually buying when you buy a business
  • How to estimate potential earnings from a business purchase
  • Why financing is critical in a successful business acquisition
  • The importance of due diligence and research

After attending, participants will better understand the importance of planning ahead, whether they are preparing to sell, transition, or buy a business, and will leave with practical resources to help them get started.
