SUMMARY:Exiting Your Business - Internal Transfers
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Harvesters Bill Arman and Alison Hoffman \nIf you are the owner of a landscape company with more than $2 million in annual revenue\, you will find this seminar helpful. \nConsider: \n\nNot all owners want to sell their business to an external buyer.\nThe marketplace for privately held businesses has changed in the past few decades.\nOwners now have more options for transitioning their businesses.\nIn the past 10 years\, more financing sources are available.\nMore resources have been created to assist business owners with this important transition.\nNew solutions continue to be created to assist business owners with a customized transition.\n\nLearn: \n\nYou are not alone if you haven’t started your exit plan.\nMost business owners aren’t sure that they know and understand all the options they have for their transition.\nWhy having an adviser who can relate to your experience guide you through the process can be the key to moving forward.\nWhy a succession plan is part of an exit plan but not a substitute for it.\nWhat are the options open to me for my business?\nWhy the valuation you had prepared in the past is not reusable?\nHow to work through this decision confidentially?\nWhen you do decide which is the way should move forward\, how to start?\nHow much does it cost to get an exit plan?\nHow to make sure you minimize the taxes in this transition?\n\nIn this session\, we will provide an overview of options for business owners who wish to transition their companies to family members\, management teams\, and/or employees.  Learn what’s most important\, how to prioritize multiple goals\, and what to consider if you aren’t yet ready in today’s market.
