Lawyer and Investment Banker Offer Educational Series on the Most Important Financial Transaction of a Business Owner’s Life
RICHMOND, Va. – LeClairRyan and Lexbridge International announce a joint effort to provide educational seminars for Richmond business owners related to the most important financial transaction of their lives – the sale of their privately-held business. Their first seminar will be held on October 27 at Willow Oaks Country Club.
Dennis Ryan, co-founder of LeClairRyan, a national law firm with offices throughout Virginia, and Brad Fleisher, Managing Director of Lexbridge International, a leading middle market investment bank, will present and discuss key issues related to planning for a sale and executing the sales transaction:
- Is my business ready to be sold?
- How do I maximize value before the sale?
- How do I assure an exit plan or deal structure that is consistent with my personal and financial goals?
- Do I have options other than selling my business?
- Are market conditions favorable?
- How do I gain leverage in a negotiation?
While owners of privately-held businesses comprise only two percent of the population, they hold nearly 80 percent of the wealth of the country, or over $10 trillion of illiquid corporate value. According to a Mass Mutual Study of privately-held businesses, 30 percent of business owners have 80 percent or more of their net worth tied to their business. Their business is the major portion of their net worth, the major source of income for one or more family members, and the basis for perpetuation of family wealth to the next generation.
In two, one-hour interactive presentations, Ryan and Fleisher will examine why it’s important to begin the exit planning process early and how to get the best price and terms in a sale transaction.
