Ownership Transition: Expanding Your Options -- Milford

$75 - limited seats available

Registration limited to business owners only

The best time to plan for the sale of your business is before you have to sell it.

Four New Hampshire business owners who have led transitions in their own businesses will share their experiences, along with helpful advice, in a half-day seminar, “Ownership Transition: Expanding your Options,” March 9, 2010 from 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cirtronics Corporation in Milford, NH.

Panelists include:

• Matt Pierson, who sold DTC Communications, a designer and manufacturer specialty wireless surveillance producer, to a third party.
• Gerardine Ferlins, who sold stock of Cirtronics Corporation, an electronic contract manufacturer, to its employees as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
• Ed Tomey, who sold Southbury Food Center, a family-owned grocery store, to another family member.
• John Gilbert, who sold GeoInsight to its senior management team.

John Murphy of Atlantic Management Company will explain the most common ownership transition models: third party sale, ESOP, family sale and management buyout. John Hamilton of Vested for Growth will moderate a question-and-answer session with the audience and panelists and provide an overview of financing options that can get an acquisition across the finish line.

Attendees will have the opportunity to have lunch with whichever presenter they choose, and will receive resource lists created by the panelists, a business valuation and case study and other checklist materials.

Attendance is limited to business owners. If you provide business services (consultant, CPA, attorney. etc.), Vested for Growth staff would welcome meeting with you to learn more about your service offerings.
