Description:
Business exit planning is not just a private matter—it’s a public economic concern. Ensuring that small businesses can transition successfully is essential to workforce retention, local wealth circulation, and the long-term health of regional economies.
This workshop will explore how small business owners nearing retirement can and should formally plan for transitioning out of their businesses, to ensure stable employment and minimize local economic disruption.
Did you know? According to national surveys, over 60% of small business owners plan to exit in the next 10 years, yet more than 70% lack a formal exit plan.
