Private Seminar for Business Owners  ·  Tuesday, October 13  ·  Tampa Bay

If someone offered to buy your business today, how would you know if this was a good offer?

Many owners can't answer that, and it has nothing to do with how well they run their company. No one teaches this. On October 13, we will.

Tuesday, October 13 5:00–7:30 PM · The Centre Club, Tampa No cost · No pitch · Seating limited
Presented by Trinity Wealth Management Group  ·  with the Private Wealth Solutions team at RBC Rochdale
The Problem

The business is the retirement plan. Almost no one prepares it like one.

For decades we are told to fund the 401(k). Almost no one tells us how to prepare the asset that represents the majority of our net worth. That's backwards. And it's fixable, but only if you have time on your side.

Here's what usually happens instead: an owner gets an offer, hires a broker, and discovers in the middle of diligence that the things they would have fixed to protect their value are the very things that needed two or three years of runway. By the time a buyer is at the table, many of those opportunities are gone.

1What your business is worth to a buyer

Not what you hope it's worth. What a buyer would actually pay, and why.

2What you would keep after taxes

A tax strategy decided before the deal, not after, can change the outcome dramatically.

3Whether that number funds your life

The only question that matters: is it enough for the rest of your life, or is there a gap?

What You'll Walk Away With

Clarity you can act on, years before a buyer shows up.

This is the information that's hard to get until you're already in the middle of a deal, when it's too late to act on it.

What your business is worth today

How buyers value companies like yours, and the specific levers that would make yours worth more.

What you'd keep after taxes

What the net number really looks like, and what could be done earlier to keep more of it.

Whether it funds your ideal life

A clear-eyed look at whether the number is enough, or whether there is a gap to close while there is still time.

What must be in place before a buyer shows up

Clean financials, reduced owner dependence, and the runway items that take two to three years to fix.

Who belongs on your team, and when

The professionals who sit around the deal table, what each one does, and when to bring each person in.

Live panel, Q&A, and networking

Bring your questions, and meet other owners thinking about the same decisions you are.

By invitation
No cost to attend · No pitch · Educational only

Fifty seats. Owners only.

We keep the room small on purpose. The material assumes you own a business you may one day sell, and the Q&A only works when everyone is wrestling with the same questions. Tell us about your company and we will confirm your seat within one business day.

01
You own the business
Sole owner, co-owner, or partner. The evening is built around decisions only owners get to make.
02
It is established
Enough history that a buyer could underwrite it. Roughly three years or more of operating results.
03
A transition is on your mind
Two years out or ten. Timing matters far less than whether you have started thinking about it.
