WITH MITCH MCGINLEY | APR 28th – MAY 24th
You are going to have to exit your business at some point, it might as well be on your own terms and for a big payday. A successful sale doesn’t happen by accident. It can take years of preparation with an eye on your exit strategy, even during the day to day of running your business. And no business is too big or too small to sell…but you must be prepared and know what to expect. In this 4-week group program you’ll learn why it is important to proactively plan for your exit; how to prepare your business (over time) for sale; how to value your business (including what is important to a buyer and what isn’t); and what to expect, good and bad, during the sales process. Tailored to fitness and wellness businesses, this training will teach you all you need to know for a successful and profitable exit when the time is right.
