Exit Planning Event: Planning for the Succession of Your Company

Though most companies will go through an ownership transition in their lifetime, not all exit strategies are the same. The options available to business owners, employees, and advisory boards are plentiful. However, which option is best for your company?

Join us Wednesday, September 9th for our free presentation outlining best practices for developing an optimal exit plan for your business. There will be 2 panels of experts; advisory team experts as well as businesses that have undergone recent ownership transactions. Our advisory panel will include representatives from Huntington Bank, ComStock Advisors, and VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm. These panelists will help shed light on the various transaction options for business owners. Additionally, we will have representatives from three businesses who will speak on their process, what they wish they knew, life after a transaction, and more.
