Selling a business is not just about finding a buyer. Timing, preparation, and strategy can dramatically change valuation, deal structure, and the options available to owners.

We will take a practical look at what separates a well-planned exit from a last-minute deal. Our panel will explore how early planning can influence everything from EBITDA and buyer perception to tax strategy, estate planning, governance, and operational readiness. We will also discuss the real tradeoffs owners face when timelines are compressed and decisions have to be made quickly.

This session brings together experienced professionals who work with business owners every day and understand what drives successful outcomes. The conversation will be candid, informative, and focused on insights you can apply in real situations.
