The Certificate in Exit Planning Online Program was developed by nationally recognized experts who serve as faculty members for the Exit Planning Institute’s Certified Exit Planning Advisor ® (CEPA®) Program. The six-module program was designed to take professional advisors (as well as sales and marketing professionals and colleagues of existing CEPAs) through an ‘exit planning 101’ course that provides an overview of the Value Acceleration Methodology™. Attendees leave the program with a baseline understanding of what exit planning is and how to help business owners plan effectively.
The program takes the attendee through six modules which concentrate on the core elements of the Value Acceleration Methodology and the organizing principle of the methodology called Master Planning. Master Planning has three critical components referred to as the “three legs of the stool.”
- Maximizing Business Value
- Personal Financial Planning
- Life After Business Planning
Participants will also learn to describe deliverables at each of the three major gates of the methodology and understand how the exit planner and the “triggering event” creates action and generates business opportunity and deal flow for other professional advisors while significantly improving value and probability of a successful transaction.
Participants who have successfully completed the course receive a Certificate in Exit Planning from the Exit Planning Institute.
