Starting the Exit and Succession Planning Process

We’ve all heard the statistics.  The largest wealth transfer in history is on the horizon.  Baby boomers will transfer (either on purpose or otherwise) $10 trillion in wealth in the coming years.  Certainly, this past year of Covid has made some folks rethink their plan (or start thinking about creating a plan).

Schneider Downs has created a four-part education series to help you as you start thinking about your eventual exit plan.  In this series, we will review the exit planning process, considerations and potential roadblocks.  We will also provide tools that you can use to develop a plan to successfully achieve company, financial and personal goals.  From developing a plan, understanding how valuations work, to estate planning and a review of actual transaction steps, subject-matter experts will offer their insight and experience to attendees.  And, we’ll also talk about the importance of having a personal plan. Please join us for this important series. 

Attendees qualify for 1 CPE per session and replays will be available to registrants following the live event. Registrants only need to register once to be enrolled in all four sessions. All sessions are scheduled from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. EDT

As a part of the webinar series, we are offering a complimentary Exit Map Assessment and Debrief to help you determine your preparedness for succession or exit. Click here to take our online survey and we will provide a report and be available to discuss the results with you. Individuals who register for the webinar series and complete the assessment will be provided a copy of “Navigating the Boomer Bust” by John Dini.
