"Hidden Retirement Harvest”, an invitation-only workshop for owner-operators.
This workshop is for founders and owners of middle-market companies who want to strengthen enterprise value and expand succession options, whether the eventual transition is to family, management, an ESOP, or an outside buyer.
Wealth Advisors have the opportunity to host guests or recommend guests to attend.
Owners who have sold a closely held company tend to say the same thing afterward:
"I wish someone had told me how to prepare . . . three years before I started.”
