In this workshop, you will learn how to prepare your business for sale, how to ready yourself for a sale of assets or shares, why capital gains tax really matters and structuring a deal.
10 years ago, the TD reported that 60% of their business customers had no exit plan beyond simply closing the doors. For the next 10 years there will be more businesses 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.
General Outline:

- Using a broker or selling yourself.
- Should this be a share sale or asset sale.

So they leave money on the table. Workshop participants will know better.
Since there are a lot of retiring owners 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.
