Virtual Event via Zoom | Limited Spots Available

In This Workshop, You Will Learn:

Could my business be losing value even if I'm not planning to sell?

  • Why risks that seem harmless while business is good can matter significantly to a future buyer
  • What happens when an unexpected event forces an owner to deal with those risks sooner than planned

How do I know what a buyer would actually pay?

  • Why revenue and profit alone do not determine what makes a business valuable
  • The factors that can quietly reduce buyer confidence, leverage, and ultimately value

What can I address now while I still have choices?

  • How customer concentration, key employees, margins, contracts, and owner dependence can affect sellability
  • Why addressing risks before a sale becomes urgent can preserve leverage and options

Join us for a free virtual workshop on how buyers evaluate a business, where value can become vulnerable, and what owners can address before an exit becomes urgent.

The Best Time to Understand Business Value Is Before an Exit Becomes Urgent.

Portrait of Gary Hallett

Gary Hallett

CEPA, M&AMI · Gateway Business Advisors

Gary Hallett is the co-founder of Gateway Business Advisors and Strategic Business Valuations, two Jacksonville-based companies specializing in M&A advisory, business valuation, and exit planning.

As a Certified Exit Planning Advisor and M&A Master Intermediary, Gary helps business owners understand what creates value, what quietly puts that value at risk, and what buyers actually look for when evaluating a company.

He has seen owners discover too late that a key employee, major customer, declining margin, weak contract, owner dependence, or untested succession plan can significantly change their options.

In this workshop, Gary will show owners how to think about their business not only as something they operate, but as an asset they may one day need to transfer.
