Building a Business That's Ready To Sell

An honest conversation about building a business that’s ready to sell, whether that’s in 2 years or 20.

Most business owners spend every day in their business and don’t get many chances to step back and think about what it could look like in the future.

Join Bedrock Advising and Cork It Wine Making for a relaxed evening with other business owners. We’ll talk about what it actually takes to build a business that’s ready to sell, even if selling isn’t on your radar yet.

Because here's the truth: the things that make a business sellable (clean financials, systems that don't depend on you, a team that runs without you in the room) are the same things that make it easier to run today. This isn't a pitch. It's a conversation for owners who are tired of guessing.

Featured Speaker: Don Montgomery, President & Founder, True North Mergers & Acquisitions

Don Montgomery is the President and founder of True North Mergers & Acquisitions, a Canadian sell-side M&A advisory firm focused on helping business owners maximize value and successfully navigate one of the most significant transitions of their lives.

His experience leading a national organization, combined with more than a decade as an entrepreneur and M&A advisor, gives Don a unique perspective on building enterprise value and successfully navigating a business transition.

Today, Don advises business owners across Canada on value creation, exit planning and the M&A process. He has been a featured speaker at dozens of conferences and business events nationwide, sharing practical insights on what drives business value, how buyers evaluate opportunities, and the strategies owners can use to position their companies for a successful exit.

We’ll talk about:•

What buyers actually look for in a business (and what scares them off)
• Practical steps you can take now to increase your company's value
• How to build a business that doesn’t rely on you for everything
