Each fall and spring ASG hosts “The Essential Steps in the Sale of a Privately Owned Business” seminars in La Jolla, Costa Mesa, and Riverside. These seminars are incredibly informative and a great way to learn more about the sale of a privately owned business. Attendance at these half-day seminars is capped at 25 attendees to allow for questions and the best learning environment. The seminars do not sell anything, but instead provide you with a workbook full of case studies and other important information, as well as great discussion and feedback to help you learn about selling a private business. A continental breakfast and steak and salmon lunch is included in the seminar fee.
 
In general, two types of individuals attend these seminars: One, those individuals who are planning on selling their privately owned business in the near future and want to be as informed and prepared as possible going into the process; and two, those individuals who are considering the sale of their company at some point and simply want to learn more so they are prepared when the time comes to sell.
 
Since the individuals who attend these seminars are not Mergers and Acquisitions professionals and are attending the seminar to learn more, ASG provides a vast array of information and topics in a very clear and easy to understand format. It is a thorough overview designed to answer the question “How do I sell my business?” Some topics that are covered at the seminars include:
 
Taxes: The Seminar explains how a business sold for $2 million might result in a “net after tax cash” of as little as $1 million and how to structure the sale for the most “net after tax cash” as possible.
 
Business Valuation Review: Seminar attendees will go through several case studies giving participants a chance to value a business and see how the seller reduced tax and liability risks and maximized cash after the sale.
 
Financing for Buyers: Attendees will learn the importance of buyer financing and the reasons why they should never finance a buyer personally. The seller wants to cash out, and to do this, the seller must understand buyer financing.
 
Legal Documents: Learn why solid legal documents are important and why poor documents can result in outrageous legal fees and failed sales transactions.
 
Risks of Litigation: If not done correctly the sale of your business could result in future legal and litigation issues. The seminar will teach you how to minimize these risks and sell your company as risk free as possible.
 
Other Topics: Negotiations, finding and qualifying buyers, and selling to competitors are among the additional topics covered at the seminar.
 
Don't try and sell a business on your own if you have no experience or knowledge how to do so. Attending the seminar “The Essential Steps in the Sale of a Privately Owned Business” will teach you how to properly sell your company while maximizing your cash out of the sale and minimizing your risks. With the money back guarantee, there is no reason you should not attend one of ASG’s half-day seminars.
