Leaders Breakfast Forum: The Art of the Exit
Built to Last, Ready to Exit
Stawowski McGill is hosting a three-part Leaders Breakfast Forum series, Built to Last, Ready to Exit. Whether you're nearing a transition or just starting to think about it, this series will help you build a business that's ready when the time comes.
Our Leaders Breakfast Forums are a space for business owners to ask direct questions to industry experts, gain perspective on all areas of business, and walk away with practical ideas they can apply immediately.
Part Three: The Art of the Exit
The final forum dives deeper into getting the deal done: from letter of intent to deal closing.
We’ll explore what every business owner should know about share purchase agreements, due diligence and the emotional impact closing a deal can have.
Hear from John M. Davidson of MLT Aikins and Dean Swanberg of Zedcor Security and Swanberg Bros. Trucking.
