About this Event
Join Initium Corporate Finance and Smythe House for a practical workshop that helps business owners understand how to build value, reduce risk, and plan for what comes next - whether that’s a sale, succession or simply a stronger, more resilient business.
This session takes you beyond the transaction, exploring how to think like an investor, prepare for opportunity, and design the next chapter of your life and wealth with purpose.
About the Speakers
