After years of hard work, the biggest mistake small business owners make is waiting too long to plan their exit. Without a clear strategy, many lose up to 30% of their business value when it’s time to sell, and in some cases, businesses close their doors forever simply because no successor was in place to carry on the legacy.
Hosted by Tarrant County College, the 2025 Exit Strategies Conference will show you exactly how to prepare, price, and position your business for a profitable and stress-free transition.
Common Challenges:
• Understanding what your business is really worth—and how to increase that value before selling.
• Defining a clear exit timeline to avoid disruption and rushed decisions.
• Navigating the legal, financial, and emotional complexities of succession planning.
• Ensuring your business and legacy continue, rather than becoming another local story of closure.
You’ll Discover How To:
? Master valuation fundamentals and buyer expectations.
? Create a step-by-step exit timeline that prevents last-minute chaos.
? Protect your deal legally and financially while staying in control.
? Build systems that allow your business to run without you—boosting overall value.
? Safeguard and grow your wealth after the sale.
Join other North Texas business owners in learning proven strategies from M&A advisors, attorneys, and successful entrepreneurs who have done it. This one-day conference is your roadmap to exit with clarity, confidence, and cash in hand.
