Laurie Barkman joined host Denise Griffitts on Your Partner In Success Radio as a follow-up to discuss avoiding pitfalls from business transition to transaction.
Growing a business requires preparing and planning for the future in order to make it transferable. Laurie Barkman is teaching entrepreneurs about making their business firm by helping them maximize enterprise value, creating succession plans, and identifying M&A strategies. 80% of business owners want to stop working in their business in the next 5-10 years, but most have not planned for that transition. Many need to improve the business first.
