Course Details

Many businesses take a break during the Christmas or New Year period (with the exception of those in hospitality or tourism, of course!). This downtime allows business owners to reflect on the past year, consider the year ahead, and think about their broader life plans. It’s an ideal time to share information with them about preparing for the sale of their business – or maybe an acquisition first?

 

Kirsty McGregor will cover the following areas during this session:

 

  • The 9 reasons businesses can’t find a buyer when they want to sell
  • Resolving their potential challenges with Exit Planning now
  • What a good business looks like to a purchaser
  • Which clients should be considering Exit Planning – or acquisition?
  • Opening the conversation with marketing content over the Christmas period

 

By attending this session, you will understand more about preparing your clients for exit – which will be inevitable for all businesses at some point.

 

This session will be of particular interest to accountants and business advisers in general practice.
