A candid discussion designed to normalise failure, encourage resilience and help attendees avoid common business pitfalls. Panellists include:
Most business owners spend years building their company, but far fewer spend enough time thinking about how they’ll leave it.
In this honest discussion, hear from a founder who sold their business to a competitor and now questions whether it was the right decision. What seemed like the perfect exit ultimately came at a cost, affecting the culture, people and future of the business they had worked so hard to build.
Joining them is Employee Ownership specialist Hannah Welch, who will explore an alternative route through Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs). Hannah will explain how EOTs can help founders realise value from their business while protecting jobs, preserving culture and rewarding the people who helped build it.
A thought provoking session for any business owner considering what comes next.
