| March Seminar Too often, business owners start a business and immerse themselves in the day-to-day details of running the business. This short-term perspective gives little weight to the strategic value of thinking of the business as "just another asset" in the owner's portfolio. Considering your business as an asset in your portfolio will drive you to manage your business with your exit in mind. By preparing your business for your exit, you can dramatically enhance the value of your business when you sell it. Think, "Who would buy my business, and why?" This class is designed to provide you with information and methods to optimize the value of your business. Through a combination of instruction and panel discussions with industry specialists, this class will address: � the nuts and bolts of your business management � your business's tangible and intangible assets � financing your business � your business from a life-planning perspective � planning to exit your business � hearing from folks who have done it (repeatedly!)
