About the Speaker:
Michael Roy is a business advisor and Business Broker with First Choice Business Brokers, bringing more than 30 years of real-world entrepreneurial and operational experience. He built his first company from a garage operation and spent more than 22 years growing it into a successful business that ultimately went through two venture capital acquisitions. That experience gave him firsthand insight into the challenges of building a business, developing a team, creating transferable value, and eventually navigating an ownership transition. Today, Michael works with business owners throughout Central Florida to strengthen their businesses, understand their value, and create more options for the future.
We encourage attendees to use the Village Connect Smart Connector tool (Still in Beta Test Mode) during this session — it's the easiest way to turn the people you meet into real, lasting connections.
