"The Truth About Exiting Your Business"

Presenter: Ed Alexander

In addition to death and taxes, there's another certainty of life for business owners -  you're going to leave your business. 

Failing to properly plan for that time can end up costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars or even result in the loss of all your business equity.

Hosted by Florida Economic Gardening Institute at the University of Central Florida, this seminar will show you the things you need to consider when thinking about leaving your business.
