April 14, 2026, 10:00 am 11:00 am
Zoom

 

Planning for a successful business exit is one of the most important and often overlooked parts of building a business. Whether you’re years away from exiting or just beginning to think about what’s next, having a clear strategy in place can help you maximize value, protect your wealth, and transition on your own terms.

This virtual workshop led by Chad Kihm will provide a practical overview of the exit planning process and the key decisions that shape both your financial and personal outcomes.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A clear understanding of what an exit plan is and why it matters
  • Insight into the six-step exit planning process, including setting goals, evaluating readiness, and exploring your options
  • An understanding of your “value gap” and how it impacts your exit
  • An overview of valuation methods, M&A fees, and key financial considerations
  • Guidance on buy/sell agreements and how to build the right advisory team
