Westminster Economic Development (ED)

You’ve worked hard to build your business—but do you know what it may actually be worth? And are you making decisions today that could increase—or decrease—its future value? Exit planning isn’t just for business owners who are ready to sell. It’s about building a stronger, more valuable business today while preparing for whatever comes next. Join the Colorado SBDC Serving North Metro Denver for this practical webinar and learn how business value is determined, what can make a business more attractive and transferable, and what you can do now to protect and build its value.

The webinar will be presented by Ethan Day, Partner at Peterson Acquisitions, who will also share a business broker’s perspective on what owners should consider when preparing for an eventual sale.

You’ll learn how to:

• Understand the key factors that influence business value
• Learn how Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) and market multiples are used
• Identify ways to strengthen and increase the value of your business
• Prepare for unexpected events that could impact your business
• Understand why the sale price isn’t necessarily what you’ll walk away with
• Start preparing now—even if selling is years away

Not planning to sell anytime soon? This webinar is still for you. Building a business that’s ready for the future can also mean building a stronger, more valuable business today.
