Whether you’re an established entrepreneur or just beginning your journey, the responsibilities can be overwhelming. The process of starting and scaling a business involves a myriad of tasks, including generating innovative ideas, securing funding, conducting market research, acquiring customers, and managing a workforce. Among these, one crucial element often goes unnoticed: the importance of structuring your business for a future sale that maximizes its value.
If your business represents one of your largest assets, implementing a strategy to enhance its appeal for potential buyers is vital. It’s essential to cultivate a business that not only thrives in the present but is also positioned favorably for a profitable exit in the future.
Preparing to sell your business is a significant endeavor that begins well before you present it to the market. Understanding how to optimize operations, boost profitability, and strategically highlight your business’s strengths can pave the way for a successful transaction, whether it’s in the near term or many years from now.
We invite you to participate in a complimentary webinar titled Build a Business That Will Sell: From Valuations to a Successful Exit. This session is co-hosted by Oracle NetSuite and Entrepreneur, featuring Dr. Jill Schiefelbein, an expert in communication AI strategies, as the moderator. In this event, she will engage with seasoned business broker and experienced entrepreneur Ben Shaw to discuss the key factors buyers are searching for and how to enhance your business’s overall value.
This webinar aims to provide you with insightful strategies, such as optimizing your operations and creating sustainable revenue streams, that will help your business distinguish itself in a competitive landscape. Regardless of whether you are considering a sale in the near future or simply want to ensure your business is resilient, the strategies covered will equip you with practical tools for success.

- Identifying common obstacles that hinder entrepreneurs from successfully selling their businesses, along with advice on how to structure yours to mitigate these issues.
