M&A Is On The Minds of Many Business Owners, But Most Don’t Have An Exit Strategy
Presented by: Mark Herbick, Founder and CEO of Pursant, LLC
Thursday, January 16 | 9:15 - 10:15 a.m.
Despite high interest rates, 2024 proved to be a year of M&A resilience, both in terms of activity and valuations and most dealmakers have high hopes for 2025 being an exciting year. What won’t likely change is the number of business owners that will pursue a sale transaction with no exit strategy. The most common mistake business owners make that can derail their lives afterwards is neglecting to have an exit strategy that includes a post-transaction plan for them in their new life.
During this session, we will discuss the state of M&A in the middle market and BSC sector and explore how to develop an exit strategy that allows business owners to successfully transition to the next chapter, post-transaction with new perspective, focus and passions after living a life where for so long, their business was their identity. Staying abreast of the M&A market is important but having an exit strategy is a must for a business owner that desires the optimal post-transaction outcome, economically and personally.
