Help your small business owners plan for the future of their business. Preparing Your Clients to Sell Their Business includes conversation on succession planning, retirement planning and estate planning. We will discuss:

  • a variety of perspectives on preparing for the next stage of their small business (e.g. external v. internal plan)
  • the pros and cons of each scenario
  • helping small business owners to acquire the information they need to plan for the future that best suits their situation (assembling your team – legal, tax, financial, estate planning)
  • how to obtain a business valuation
  • how to choose and prepare a successor
  • steps to take to make sure they are able to enjoy the retirement that they envision for themselves
