Ellen McIlhenny - “The Smart and Savvy Exit – Building Value for Exit Part 1”

IBGR.Network - PROFIT Radio. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow, or exit a business. GROW WITH US.

INTRODUCTION
This week starts a series of shows in which we will look at specific ways to build value in the company prior to exit.  
 
I have spent several years doing research on these topics as part of the current book I am writing. The book’s title (at this time) is The Small Business Survival Guide: 101 Tips and Tales for Small Business Owners. I also have worked with my clients using a lot of the techniques to help them improve their bottom lines. I look forward to sharing these tips with all of you.
 
As we continue to get closer to the economy opening up (it appears that local and state governments that have been most aggressive with lockdowns are starting to feel the urgency to open) there are still challenges ahead. Join the Community of Commerce at IBGR for help with answers to the many questions that may come up.  Let’s get the conversation started.
