The Exit Table<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Invitation-Only Evening for Business Owners Thinking About Next Steps<\/p>\n

Le Germain Hotel<\/strong>
\nDoors open at 6 pm<\/strong>
\nLimited Seating | Application Required<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you sold your business in the next 2\u20135 years\u2026 would it be worth what you believe it should be?<\/p>\n

Many successful business owners discover too late that strong revenue does not automatically create strong business value.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

\u2022 increasing business value before an exit
\n\u2022 reducing founder dependence
\n\u2022 preparing financially and legally for sale
\n\u2022 what buyers look for and what reduces valuation
\n\u2022 how to build a more transferable business<\/p>\n

Who This Event is For:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 founder-led businesses
\n\u2022 professional services firms
\n\u2022 owners generating approximately $1M\u2013$15M in annual revenue
\n\u2022 entrepreneurs considering an exit within the next 2\u20135 years
\n\u2022 owners seeking clarity on valuation, succession, profitability, and transferability<\/p>\n

Why Attendance Is Limited<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Applications are required and will be reviewed prior to confirmation.<\/a><\/p>\n
