How to Maximise the Value of Your Businessdavidguest11
Running a business has so much potential. Potential to give you the lifestyle you always dreamed of, a great income, and the freedom to choose what you do and when you do it.
Join Industry Renowned Experts, David Guest, Rob Jagger, Misko Vujnovic & John Riley for Breakfast, as they reveal the Secrets to Maximising the Value of Your Business.
So why do so many business owners get stuck in a rut?
Because they are usually just too busy. Busy doing busy-ness rather than building a business and preparing to exit.
You wouldn't build a house without a plan, but most business owners are just running hard on the treadmill, flying by the seat of their pants, with no real plan to make sure they are on track and in control for the future.
In this workshop, learn from Internationally Acclaimed Business Coach, David Guest; Director of Exit To Success Consulting, Rob Jagger, Principle barrister and solicitor at Kelly & Chapman Lawyers, Misko Vujnovic & John Riley, a Certified Practicing Accountant with almost 20 years experience in matters relating to business valuations and how to structure the sale of a business.
The Keynotes Being Discussed Include:
~Putting Your Business on Autopilot~
There are 6 steps to creating a business that works without you. In this keynote, David will be showing you the 6 steps and how to implement them.
~Maximising Value Through Business Exit Planning~
Currently in Australia 80% of businesses fail to sell, leaving the owners with little choice but to close the doors. In this keynote, we will discuss the eight key drivers of business value from a buyer's perspective, when the best time to sell is, and what a good Business Exit Planning process looks like.
~How To Avoid Common Legal Traps in Building Your Business~
Often businesses fail to prepare themselves in terms of the necessary legal documents they should have when it comes to enhancing the overall business value. Documents like business agreements, partnership deeds, lease documents or shareholders agreements are commonly either outdated or not in place at all. In this keynote we will show you the reasons why you should have these arrangements in place from the beginning and certainly well before you sell your business.
~Selling Your Business with Zero Tax~
Many small business owners are relying on the sale of their business to provide for their retirement. Learn how your business can be sold without losing thousands of dollars in tax. In fact, with proper planning and advice you can pay no tax at all!
During this event, you will learn how to:
-Ensure you protect your business and personal succession position if unexpected events impacted the business owner or it's key people
-Prepare your business for selling
-Maximise your selling price
-Make sure you take advantage of the current tax laws to optimise your business sale
-Develop a financial plan that will secure your retirement and give you the flexibility and freedom to live your
