Growing your business with your end goal in mind

Hertfordshire Growth Hub, in partnership with the University of Hertfordshire Business School, proudly presents a not-to-be-missed interactive workshop designed to empower business owners.

This in-person workshop has been designed to equip you as a business owner, with the essential information needed to effectively plan for succession or exit to ensure a smooth transition and the continued success of your business.

With 76% of SME owners considering some form of exit within the next 10 years (Forbes/John Willon), now is the time to take proactive steps. After years of navigating economic challenges, this session will help you shift focus from survival to strategic growth and succession.

Recent years have presented many economic shocks for businesses which have at times meant that business survival instead of growth has been a priority but now is the time to take steps to ensure the growth of your business by preparing effectively for succession planning.

But of course, after years of building and running a successful business, deciding when and how you will step back can be daunting but starting the process well in advance of your planned exit allows you the time to develop a plan that both suits your personal requirements and the growth objectives of your business.

What You will Learn:

• The different types of succession and exit strategies available
• How to prepare your business for a successful transition
• Why developing a leadership pipeline is crucial—and how to start
• Where to find support and resources to build your strategy
