72% of business owners have not dealt with the challenge of ownership
transfer yet their business is often their largest asset. Not having an ownership
transition plan affects employees, family members and everyone associated with the business.
You have spent a significant part of your life with the ownership challenge – operating your business.
Whether you’re in the early stages of your business cycle or nearing a time for transition, this is an
important part of the business planning process.
Join three of The Group’s Service Providers and several Group Clients in a reveal conversation about
business ownership transition. Robert Hayter, Steve Bailey, and Jean Seawright will lead this invaluable
session sharing their insights and experience. The session will conclude with a Group discussion with
session leaders and some of your peers who have dealt with ownership transition.
IT’S TIME to analyze, shift, refine and create an effective plan to achieve success!
