Member Event: Passing the Baton – Making a Success of Succession

For most owners, selling their business represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realise the value of a lifetime’s work.

The Government estimates* that around 100,000 otherwise viable businesses close each year simply because no-one wants to take them on. With the average age of small business owners steadily increasing succession failure is a growing issue.

Join us for a wide-ranging discussion that will include:

• Who will buy my business? Building a business someone will want
• Maximising sale value
• Business valuation techniques
• Tax efficient extraction
• Funding options and deal structures

The session will be introduced byRichard Ross. We are delighted to be joined byIan NelsonfromLarking Gowen’s Corporate Finance Team andMartin SimonsfromHSBCCorporate Banking.

The Masterclass will last around two hours with questions and be of interest to business owners looking to sell or acquire another firm and their advisers.
