You are Invited to Attend a Business Transition Workshop.

If you are like most business owners, you have not given transition planning much formal thought. We would like to show you why you need to think seriously about this important issue now, rather than later!

Consider these figures:

• 84% of owners need the proceeds from the sale of their business to finance their retirement lifestyle, but less than 40% of businesses successfully transition their businesses.
• 81% of family business owners say they want the business to remain in the family, but only 30% of family businesses survive a transition to the next generation.
• 85% of business owners don't know the value of their business.

You will hear from experienced professionals on the following topics:

• How to properly plan your business transition.
• How potential buyers value businesses.
• Current state of the M&A market.
• Getting your family and other stakeholders on the same page.
• Building shareholder value.
• Financing the transaction.
• You sold your business - now what?

Mark your calendar for September 16, 2009. You should not miss this free workshop that can benefit you by ensuring that your business transfer will achieve your personal goals and satisfy your financial needs.
