Many business owners spend years building significant value on paper, but far fewer feel clear or confident about what that value will actually mean for their lifestyle once they step away.
In this practical and engaging session, we will explore the key financial decisions that arise before, during and after the sale of a business.

The focus is on helping founders translate an exit valuation into real-world outcomes: sustainable income, financial security, and a clear plan for what comes next.

We will cover:

Why business valuation is often very different from the number founders have in their head
How to define what you truly need from an exit (not just what you could get)
Turning sale proceeds into sustainable long-term income
Common mistakes owners make when moving from running a business to managing personal wealth
How to balance opportunity, security and flexibility after a liquidity event
The importance of aligning financial decisions with life priorities beyond the deal itself
How the money can have a positive impact on your family post-sale.
