You’ve poured everything into your business—a testament to vision,

grit, and hard work. Leaving your business’s future to chance exposes you and your family

to severe risk—financial loss, emotional upheaval, and even the breakdown of relationships.

Crisis-driven exits are all too common and almost always deliver poorer outcomes.

What is your business really worth? And just as importantly,

What are your options for Exit?

Key Point 1: Do You Know Your Business Value?

Many business owners operate without a clear sense of their company’s true value.

Whether you’re contemplating succession, partnership changes, or eventual sale,

understanding value is foundational. There are several robust methods available—

from earnings multiples to asset-based and discounted cash flow valuations—but the

right strategy depends on your sector, earnings, and future plans.

Key Point 2: Do You Know Your Exit Options?

You aren’t limited to one path. Explore these primary succession and sale options:

Family succession: Grooming the next generation or a key family member.

Internal sale: Management buyout, employee share plan, or transition to a

trusted insider

Merger: Partnering with another business to scale, diversify, or enable a

gradual exit

Third-party sale: Selling outright to an external buyer, investor, or

competitor.

Each path brings unique challenges around valuation, leadership transition, and

stakeholder communication. Not planning ahead risks value erosion, family conflict,

or hurried “fire sale” exits when crisis hits.

Don’t Wait Until Crisis Hits

The emotional barriers are real—your business represents your identity, relationships,

and pride. But leaving your future (and your family’s) to chance is too big a gamble.

This session will help you:

Learn practical steps to value your business.

Compare the real pros and cons of each exit strategy.

Identify where to start—no matter your stage.

Discover why the most successful legacies are planned, not improvised.

Let’s turn “what’s next?” into a powerful opportunity—protecting your legacy, your

wealth, and your peace of mind.
