The Exit Table

An Invitation-Only Evening for Business Owners Thinking About Next Steps

Le Germain Hotel
Doors open at 6 pm
Limited Seating | Application Required

If you sold your business in the next 2–5 years… would it be worth what you believe it should be?

Many successful business owners discover too late that strong revenue does not automatically create strong business value.

This confidential & private dinner is designed for founders and professional service firm owners who are thinking seriously about succession, transition, or a future exit within the next five years and want to understand how buyers actually evaluate a business.

Hosted by Naomi Morisawa De Koven & Justin Clory of Navio Law and Melissa Houston, CPA, CEPA, this intimate salon-style evening brings together a carefully selected group of business owners for candid conversation around:

• increasing business value before an exit
• reducing founder dependence
• preparing financially and legally for sale
• what buyers look for and what reduces valuation
• how to build a more transferable business

Who This Event is For:

• founder-led businesses
• professional services firms
• owners generating approximately $1M–$15M in annual revenue
• entrepreneurs considering an exit within the next 2–5 years
• owners seeking clarity on valuation, succession, profitability, and transferability

Why Attendance Is Limited

To preserve the quality of conversation, attendance is intentionally capped at a small number of qualified business owners. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, confidentiality is expected of attendees.

Applications are required and will be reviewed prior to confirmation.

This event is not affiliated with Invest Ottawa and is independently organized by a third party.
