Treat Your Business Like an Investment and Retire on Your Terms

Presented on Tuesday, December 3, 2013

In the rush of day-to-day work and decisions, business owners sometimes forget that their business is an investment—and something they need to watch, nurture, and care for just as they would a valuable antique vase or painting. Typically, 60–80% of a business owner’s wealth is tied up in the value of the business. You will learn • The importance of treating your ownership interest in a business the same way you would treat the shares in your stock portfolio: “Like an Investment.” • How a company is valued, using terms that business owners can understand. • The ways you can increase the value of your business and how an outside buyer will view your company. • Existing exit strategies, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. • Why timing might be the most critical component of your exit strategy. • How to begin the succession planning process and knowing the critical components
