Events

Many people are in business to earn a living by advancing a new technology, perfecting a process, improving a system or launching a new product. But all too often the engaged entrepreneur does so at the cost of their personal financial well-being.

To achieve business goals and secure financing, entrepreneurs have to craft a business plan to attract capital and partnership interests. What is commonly neglected is a personal plan for financial success.

This session highlights what entrepreneurs should consider at the start of their venture, what they need to do as the company grows and what needs be done as the business matures and the owner contemplates an exit or retirement.

Join us and learn about:

• Risk and reward―how does that apply to you as an entrepreneur?
• Tax efficiency―if you’ve got it, use it.
• Retirement planning―everyone retires, start planning now.
• Succession planning―what is your exit strategy?
• Contingency planning―what if you can’t execute your plan, or, worse yet, what if your partner can’t?
• Managing corporate assets―how to maximize shareholder value, down to the last penny.
