Preparing to sell your business for the maximum value

Maximising your exit strategy: Unlocking value for business owners preparing for sale

Most business owners dream of selling their business for a life-changing sum of money, but how many really understand how to make this happen? No matter when you are thinking of selling your business, the earlier that you start to prepare for it, the more money you will receive from the sale.

This insightful seminar will be held at the Aylesbury Canal Society on 3rd May at 9am – 12pm and is jointly hosted by:

ActionCOACH Buckingham (Business Growth Specialists) – Justin Charlton-Jones

Hillier Hopkins (Accountants) – James Johnson

Barnes Wealth Management (Financial Planners) – Tom Barnes

At this seminar you will learn how to;

• Maximise the value of your business to a prospective buyer.
• Understand how to value your business and sell using the available tax breaks.
• Ensure that the money from the sale is managed tax efficiently and in a way that allows you to achieve your financial goals.

Here is a short introduction to our speakers and what they will be presenting:

Justin Charlton Jones - ActionCoach Buckingham

Did you know that businesses sell for 3 to 6 times more money if the owner is no longer involved in the day-to-day operations of their company? Learn how to create a successful business that works without you, how to get your team working as effectively and efficiently as possible, and growth strategies that will double your profits and your business’s future value. Justin is a business growth specialist on hand to answer any other questions you may have.

James Johnson - Hillier Hopkins

For owners looking to sell or transition their businesses, valuation is critical for determining an appropriate asking price and negotiating favourable terms. By maximising the value of your business before a sale or transition, you can optimise your financial outcome and ensure a smoother transition process.

Overall, valuing your business and implementing strategies to maximise its value are integral to achieving long-term success, sustainability, and profitability. Whether you're focused on growth, tax efficiency or exit planning, investing in these efforts can yield significant benefits for both current and future stakeholders. James will be delving deeper into these issues and answering any questions you may have.

Tom Barnes – Barnes Wealth Management

1. Starting with the end in mind, you’ll learn how working with a financial planner in the 4-5 years prior to your business sale is crucial. Effective pre-sale planning will reduce your reliance on such a high sale value.
2. Do you really understand your ‘magic number’ (the amount that you want to receive from a sale)? Cashflow modelling ensures you will.
3. The plan should be ready well ahead of a deal being agreed. It should feel like “pressing the green button”.

Tom will be available to answer any other questions you have about planning to sell your business and other wealth management issues.

Refreshments and pastries will be provided.
