FIVE CONVERSATIONS THAT DRIVE BUSINESS SUCCESSION PLANNING

EPI TWIN CITIES METRO AREA CHAPTER

Just as there are many types of advisors (from multiple disciplines) that help business owners with different parts of the business succession process, there are also many ways to engage owners in the conversation. Depending on the owners current “pain” and state of mind, they may be more driven by the prospect of reducing taxes, increasing the value of the business, or resolving an internal conflict. Join Joe and Shelley for this dynamic conversation about how to take owners as they come, identify their true issues, and then engage for the conversation that will drive the entire planning opportunity for you and your collaborative team. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Help owners gain more clarity and identify their true problem.
  • Engage for the part of the business succession you want to do and partner in the rest.
  • Explain "The Missing Math" owners need to hear

About the Presenter:

Hear from industry expert, Joe Strazzeri, Esq, Counselor and Attorney, Strazzeri Mancini LLP.

Who Should Attend?

  • Financial Advisors

    One of the critical ‘legs of the stool’ is personal financing planning. An owner must have a strong financial plan & contingency plan post-transition to enable them to thrive in the next act of the lives personally and financially. Exit planning brings this future mindset into the present. Exit is now.

  • Wealth Managers

    You’re a skilled relationship person. Being entangled into your clients’ professional lives matters as you build a strategy to manage their wealth upon them harvesting it from their business. Exit planning allows you to build a deeper relationship with your client, expands your COI network, while giving you an early seat at table well before the liquidity event.

  • CPAs/Accountants

    Owners participating in the State of Owner Readiness research continue to indicate that you are the No. 1 "Most Trusted Advisor." You are a natural fit to lead the exit planning team and deepen your relationship (and retention) of next generation owners.

  • Attorneys

    You have close relationships with clients, and can benefit from being the first advisor to introduce the idea of exit planning.

  • Estate Planners

    Exit planning is a natural fit for estate planners who want to operate more holistically with their owner clients.

  • Investment Bankers

    Only 2 of every 10 businesses that come to market actually sell. Learn how exit planning can bring attractive AND ready business to your purview.

  • Valuation Analysts

    Valuation is both a billable engagement AND an opportunity to provide owners some perspective on how to accelerate value drivers (and deal with value killers). Use exit planning to make that valuation into a longer term value acceleration engagement.

  • Strategic Consultants

    One of the most critical roles in exit planning is building transferable value. Strategic consultants have the ability to expand options and drive rapid business value that affect performance today.

  • Insurance Professionals

    Exit planning addresses the 5 D's. So do you. Approach the risk conversation differently with exit planning.

  • Commercial Lenders

    One of the best relationships a business owner makes is with their banker. How can you help your corporate clients think about the future and ensure financial continuity? Answer: exit planning.

  • Mergers & Acquisition Advisors

    Proper exit planning causes less deals to fall through at the last minute. Connect with CEPAs to build your healthy deal flow network.
