From Sellable to Valuable: A Small Business Owner's Exit Preparation Guide

Thinking about selling your business someday? If you're a business owner with $1 million or less in annual revenue, this webinar is designed specifically for you. Not every small business is ready for sale—and many owners have unrealistic expectations about what their company is worth. This practical session will help you assess whether your business is currently sellable, understand how to value it realistically, and identify the specific steps needed to maximize that value.

You'll learn to evaluate your business through a buyer's eyes, discover how small businesses are valued using Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE), and understand the critical factors that make businesses sellable. We'll also explore the financial and operational improvements that can deliver measurable increases in sale price.

Whether you're planning to sell next year or next decade, you'll leave with a better understanding of your business's current value and a clear roadmap for increasing its sellability and market worth. This webinar focuses specifically on the challenges and opportunities facing smaller, owner-operated businesses.
