OVERVIEW

High Performance Continuity and Succession

Many business owners seek growth beyond the founders group. It requires a plan for both continuity and succession. A strategic blueprint detailing how owners and key executives enter, share value and eventually exit are usually the difference between success and failure. By continuously promoting growth and developing new true leadership are essential when creating a transferable business. Take away tools and resources that will help facilitate the conversations so you can guide your clients to exit in style.

Alternative Small Business Financing

Commercial bankers would like to lend to as many viable small-to-medium businesses as possible, however they cannot lend to every business customer situation. Many businesses of varying sizes, from start-ups to $500 million companies have tight cash flow limiting the working capital needed to grow their business and some cannot get a bank credit line and others a credit line increase. Business financing is readily available from trustworthy non-bank sources, which provides continuous working capital needed to keep the business’s cash flow intact without limiting growth.

BENEFITS

Earn 4 CPE credits in Consulting Services.
