About this seminar
In a competitive business environment that stresses growth, the reality is that all firm leaders will at some point face the issue of whether they are buyers or sellers. The time to start thinking about the future of your firm is NOW.
You may be looking to grow your firm by acquisition or merger, considering an external transaction as an exit strategy, or your other principals may be pushing you to implement an ownership transition plan. Owners of design and environmental firms today have many options. However, the process of negotiating a transaction that benefits all parties, and implementing a seamless post-closing integration, is filled with pitfalls and challenges.
Where do you start? How do you find and evaluate good candidates that may be willing to buy or sell? How do you value and structure the deal? What are the most common mistakes in the integration process? Many firm owners don’t know the answers or even the right questions to ask.
Don’t take chances with your firm’s future. Find out what smart A/E/P and environmental firm owners know about making successful deals. This one-day seminar will provide the information you’ll need to evaluate your options and avoid costly mistakes. You’ll leave with a greater understanding of where your firm should be heading, and have more confidence that you can guide it there.
