$50 per person.

A different take on an old topic. Join Gordon Stone, Anthony Coates and John Whitfeld to discuss perspectives and strategies for business growth and transfer.

The focus will be on pathways and preparation rather than financials and legals, and communication.

We will adopt the investment mindset and ask:

  • would you advise your children to invest in this particular business?
  • is your business "investor ready"? (be they family, financiers or third parties)
  • what management changes would you need?
  • what operating changes would be required?
  • what strategies could you consider?
  • what are you trying to acheive?....and why?
  • what is your "Unique Selling Proposition"?
