Organized by: TechConnex — https://www.eventbrite.com/o/8600519138Join us November 24 in Toronto to learn how to maximize business value, plan for succession and prepare for a successful exit.
Thinking about selling or transitioning your business in the next few years? Are you doing the right things today to prepare for a successful exit?
Whether you're planning to sell in two years or ten, the decisions you make now can have a significant impact on the value of your business and your future options.
Join TechConnex and Apex Capital Advisors for Getting Exit Ready, a full-day summit designed to help business owners, founders and senior leaders build stronger, more valuable and transferable businesses.
Hear from experienced professionals and business leaders as they share practical insights into business valuation, succession planning, tax and legal considerations, financial readiness, leadership and the systems that make a business more attractive to potential buyers.
You don't need to be ready to sell. You need to be ready to start preparing.
What You'll Learn
Preparing for a business exit involves much more than finding a buyer. Throughout the day, we'll explore the key considerations that can influence your business's value, transferability and long-term success.
Understand what drives business value. Learn what potential buyers look for and how to strengthen your business before going to market.
Prepare financially. Explore valuation, tax strategies, financial planning and other considerations that can affect your exit.
Build a business that can operate without you. Understand the importance of systems, processes, governance and reducing owner dependency.
Strengthen your leadership team. Consider how people, succession planning and management continuity influence business readiness.
Navigate the legal and structural considerations. Learn about important decisions and potential risks to address well before a transaction.
Plan for your next chapter. Think beyond the sale itself to your personal financial future, goals and legacy.
What to Expect
This is a full-day learning and networking experience designed to provide practical information you can use to start preparing your business for its next chapter.
Attendees can expect:
Expert insights: Hear from experienced speakers covering the financial, legal, operational and leadership aspects of business transition.
