Exit Ready: Preparing Your Business for Sale

A half-day seminar for business owners planning to sell in the next three to five years.

Selling a business isn't a single event. It's the result of years of decisions, some of which either build value or quietly erode it. This seminar brings together specialists across finance, law, technology, wealth management and brand to help you get exit ready, well before you need to be.

Whether you're eyeing a trade sale, an MBO, or an Employee Ownership Trust, the earlier you prepare, the more control you keep over price and process.

Expect straight talking sessions from six specialist firms, each covering the part of the exit story that falls under their expertise.
