Looking to Sell Your Business? BTA Offers Free Webinar to Educate Business Owners, Wed 2/12 at 10 AM

BOSTON - Feb. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- If you are considering selling your business, you may be under the assumption—held by most small business owners—that selling to a third-party buyer is your only option. It is not. In reality, a third-party sale can be the most difficult to achieve and may not satisfy your financial and non-financial objectives. In order to help business owners explore the various options they have when selling their businesses, Business Transition Academy invites you to sign up for our free, introductory webinar on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 from 10 AM to 11 AM EST.

To learn more about our new 6-part training course where you can create your own custom business transition plan, visit our website www.businesstransitionacademy.com/.

During this webinar, we will provide an overview of the topics as well as the materials for our business owner training course entitled "Creating Your Own Business Ownership Transition Plan."

Who Should Attend? Owners of businesses who want to plan a successful ownership transition either externally to an outside buyer or internally to key employees, partners, or family members.

“Most business owners believe that the highest sale price is what you should seek when they are selling their businesses,” said Jane Johnson, Business Transition Mentor. “But that can be a costly misperception.” Kathy Richardson-Mauro, Business Transition Mentor, added: “You need to understand what you likely will net from your potential transfer method. And you need to carefully and equally assess the non-financial characteristics of a potential method. The decisions you make will affect your employees, your legacy, your family, and ultimately, your future.”

What you will learn in our introductory webinar:

•        Statistics on sale activity and market trends

•        How to solidify your personal vision and goals

•        How much money you will need to fund your post transition lifestyle

•        How to maximize the value of your company

•        Five major options that you have for transitioning ownership

•        Top Ten Deal Killers or other mistakes to avoid

•        How the sale process really work
