— ROUNDTABLE EVENT: APRIL 6, 2016 —

Thinking of exiting your business within the next 5-10 years?

Selling your business should be one of the most exciting and rewarding events in your lifetime. But recent surveys show that for many business owners, the process is unsatisfying, and sometimes downright disappointing. They discover that the business value is not what they expected, and that the process is complicated and filled with trap doors.

Attend our Burnaby Business Transitions Roundtable Event

On Wednesday, April 6, 2016, meet with experienced advisors for a casual roundtable-style information session on the key topics surrounding business transitions.
