This session helps to pull the jigsaw together – what are the short and medium term preparations for sale or succession. What exactly should you be thinking about when it comes to moving on? How do you realise the value in the business – what are the key valuation methods? How do you make sure it’s in a safe pair of hands? Intermediaries – who should you be talking to and what about? Preparation up front is important – a business needs to be in a fit and attractive state to pass it on, don’t leave until the last minute, forewarned is forearmed.
