This morning, Shorts jointly hosted an Exit Planning Seminar alongside HSBC and Wake Smith, at the AMP Technology centre in Sheffield.
A breakfast seminar the morning after the Sheffield Business Awards could have been a challenge for some, but there was a great turnout at this event which looked to provide information to business owners who might be thinking about;
- selling their business to a trade buyer
- exiting their business via a sale to management through an MBO
- de-risking their position via a partial exit or cash out.
Speaking after the event, Shorts partner Andy Ryder commented “we regularly hold seminars such as this on a variety of Corporate Finance subjects and it is great to see a good turnout to each event. Leading a business through any change is a challenge and it is important to explore all options. These events give business owners the opportunity to learn more in a friendly and relaxed environment, to help them to find advisers they can trust when the time comes for them to make those big decisions.”
Following the event Lee Gaddes from Gaddes Noble Property Lawyers called the event “excellent” and Mick Hopps from Motus Traffic commented that it was a “good introduction of timescales and planning required.”
