Selling or transferring your business is a big decision for most people, with many considerations: What is the business actually worth? What is a buyer looking for? And how do you prepare as a seller in the best possible way – both financially and mentally?
You will get answers to typical questions from two experienced speakers who work with business sales, generational changes and ownership changes on a daily basis. They will give you insight into the most important mechanisms, pitfalls and opportunities in the process.
You can also hear Lars Bryde, CEO of LB Invest ApS and member of Billund Erhverv, talk about when he sold his share of the company Bentsen Emballage in 2024. He will discuss the importance of getting started well in advance, how he mentally prepared himself to get ready for the sale and to sell his company, and how he found the right buyer.
In connection with the event, it is possible to have a dialogue with Allan Clausen, a business developer at Erhvervshus Sydjylland, specializing in generational and ownership changes.
There will be ample opportunity to ask questions along the way.
