What Is It?

An interactive, participative and thought-provoking half-day workshop that will get you to think about how you will make money when you leave your business – most business owners come away from their business with nothing or next-to-nothing because they hadn’t done the early planning!

WHO IS IT AIMED AT?

Owner-managers and directors of existing businesses who are starting to think about how to get the maximum value from their business when they come to move on.

What's It All About?

70% of owner-managers and directors say that it is important that their business continues to trade after their ‘retirement’- yet 63% have made no plans at all! This workshop explains your options and considers the financial consequences.  How much do you want to take out of the business? How much is realistic?

WHAT THE DELEGATES SAY FROM LAST YEAR's Other Let's Talk Events

'Last January, we were a team of just four with a turnover of around £150,000 a year and we look set to have almost doubled that in the past year and our aim is to take that to the half a million mark by year end 07, with profitability up by about 30%.'
- NB, Managing Director, Media Company.

'Based on current bookings as of 11 Jan 2006, Q1 2006 will already be at least as good as Q4 2005, and looks like it could be 3 times the Q4 2005 revenue.'
- IW, Managing Director, Management Consultancy.

100% of delegates said they'd recommend The Directors' Centre workshop to a colleague; 99% said they'd do something fundamentally different as a result of the Let's Talk workshop.'
