BusinessEx Series with Gaurav Marya

WEBINAR OVERVIEW

Leaving your business can be emotional and overwhelming, so planning a proper exit strategy requires diligence in time and care.

Exit plans are necessary to secure a business owner’s financial future, but many don’t think to establish one until they’re ready to leave. Exit plans take into account not only the segueing business owner, but the customers, employees, and investors, as well.

Establishing an exit strategy is not usually the first thing entrepreneurs think to do when starting a business. However, when it comes time to leave, having a solid plan in place helps ensure a successful financial future.

Explore 'Investor' as a career and go deep into an Investor's mindset.

SCALE

Create the next level of Success! Know how to develop a framework to systematically analyze and support necessary actions for a sustainable scale up.

The scaling-up strategy is the plan for promoting, expanding and institutionalizing the innovation. Development of an effective scaling-up strategy assesses the elements of scaling up and the actions needed to improve them and then examines the strategic choices for each type of scaling up. How do you continue to thrive and bring trust to your brand?

In BEx Scale Series, we help in formulating Entrepreneur mindset strategies that will build excellence in enterprise, leading to growth and expansion. We shed light upon the commitment and skillset required, standardized processes, identifying core competence, articulating competitive strength and most importantly, about how to build a team that works for the vision of one that's shared by all.

VALUE

"Even if I'm making a lot of money, my business has no value" – A commonly used phrase by a business owner.

It is at this moment that you must realize the importance of building value in your business. Learn how to get the multiplier effect in your business and prepare your company for attracting sales and growth capital.

Value creation is the bridge to your exit strategy. Done correctly, it can mean that you have created the maximum value for the shareholders when the time comes to exit. Done incorrectly, could mean that the shareholders leave "money on the table" or worse yet, a buyer cannot be found.

In BEx Value Series, we talk about business valuations, mergers & acquisitions, due diligence, planning your exit strategy, transaction execution and value creation.
