Run Your Own Race Business Workshop

December 5, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

Explore the hidden challenges in selling a business and the changes you can make even if selling is decades away.

Run Your Own Race Business Workshop

One you’ve gained clarity on the life you want post-business, understand the steps you can take to drive business growth while positioning you (and your business) for a successful exit.

Over 70% of private businesses put up for sale don’t sell, and when they do 75% of owners deeply regret the decision within 12 months. It’s not an issue of money – it’s driven by the preparation business owners aren’t doing, and the questions they aren’t asking.

Join us for a 2.5 hour workshop where we’ll dig deeper into the factors that impact enterprise value; improving your businesses scalability and saleability.

We’ll cover:

  • Concept of enterprise value
  • Key factors that can drive value up (or down)
  • How you can make your business more saleable
  • What are some of the biggest levers you can pull in your business?

Location: Collingwood Public Library

Date + Time: Tuesday December 5, 2023

Who should attend:

  • If you’ve ever considered that someday you may want to sell your business, this workshop is right for you
  • If you’ve ever wondered if you were doing things that are likely to add value to your business, this workshop is for you
