Increase the Value of Your Business - Before it's Too Late!

Whether you plan to sell your business in 5 years or 25 years, the work to maximize its value starts today.

Most small business owners spend years building their company but very little time preparing it to become a valuable, transferable asset. In this session, Tim Sanborn—who has participated in more than 65 business acquisitions and successfully built and sold his own company—will explain what buyers actually look for and what determines whether a business commands a premium price or struggles to sell.

You'll learn:

• The three ways every business owner eventually exits their business.
• How buyers determine what a company is worth.
• The factors that increase (or decrease) your valuation.
• Common mistakes that reduce a company's selling price.
• Practical steps you can begin implementing today to build a more valuable business.
• Whether your goal is retirement, succession planning, or simply building a stronger company, this presentation provides actionable insights that can significantly impact the future value of your business. 

Ideal for: Small business owners, entrepreneurs, family businesses, and anyone who wants to build a company that can thrive beyond its founder.
