“Eric’s strategies provided me with invaluable perspective. It helped me prioritize what truly matters, and focus my energy on things that make a difference.

Exit Strategy or Legacy Strategy? Making the Most of Your Business Sale

Selling a business is an exciting milestone, but in the whirlwind of closing the deal, crucial planning steps are often overlooked, leading to regret down the road.

This keynote reveals the 3 biggest oversights sellers and their families frequently express post-exit:

  1. Not maximizing assets and generational wealth transfer.
  2. Failing to align family expectations ahead of transition-related stress.
  3. Losing sight of core values in the quest for liquidity.

You’ll learn key strategies to avoid these pitfalls, including:

  • Structuring the sale to optimize tax advantages.
  • Having candid family conversations to get on the same page.
  • Clarifying values to transition purposefully into your next chapter.

The sale marks the end of one era, but smart planning makes it the beginning of an empowered next chapter and family legacy. Attendees will gain actionable steps to look back on this milestone with satisfaction.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Identify hidden costs in a business sale and strategize to maximize health, relationships, and net profit.
Learn the 3 biggest regrets of business sellers and create a proactive plan to avoid unnecessary taxes, loss of purpose, and declining generational impact.
Discover a framework to ensure your business exit enables a purposeful next chapter of personal fulfillment, family legacy, and Kingdom impact.
