Strategies to Exit your Business
Apr 23 @ 11:30 am – 12:30 pm

Exiting your business can be as simple as closing the doors and going home to complicated take-back financing and share retention. Rarely will you be offered a cheque without strings. In this workshop, you will learn how to prepare your business for sale, how to prepare yourself for a sale of assets or shares, why capital gains tax matters, and how to structure a deal.

Ten years ago, the TD reported that 60% of their business customers had no exit plan beyond simply closing the doors. For the next ten years, more businesses will be for sale by their retiring owners than ever before.

Most businesses do not get full value for their company because they did not prepare themselves or their company beforehand. It takes 2 or 3 years of solid financials and a tidy, organized business for a potential buyer to secure financing from an institution.

Learning Outcomes:

How to prepare your business for sale.

Valuing the business.
Using a broker or selling yourself.
Should this be a share sale or an asset sale?
What about shareholder loans? Receivables, payables, physical assets, company vehicles, cash in the bank?
Your goals: a quick dash for the door or a long-term position as “founder” with the new owner.
Since most people decide on Saturday to put their business on the market on Monday, they have not taken the time to clean up the smelly bits and present their company in the best possible light to attract the best possible dollar. So they leave money on the table. Workshop participants will know better.
Since many retiring owners are selling their businesses, it is hard to stand out in the crowd and get the best dollar. Workshop participants will know how to stand head and shoulders above the crowd.
