   MED  WEEK SEMINAR - Thursday, October 9, 2008 - 9:30 A.m. - 11:30  a.m.  The  Greater Philadelphia Minority Business Strategic Alliance  Presents:  Succession  planning for minority business owners
   Continued  success beyond one generation - plan and prepare to  transition or  sell your business
   All  private business owners eventually leave their company, but changing  hands gracefully - and profitably - only happens when owners create  and implement comprehensive plans for succession. Developing a  formal succession helps owners define and achieve maximum exit  objectives, enabling them to leave their business when they want,  pass control and ownership to the right successor and exit with the  funds needed for retirement.  This  MED Week seminar is in TWO parts (9:30-10:30 and 10:30-11:30) and  provides vital information to help you:  ü   Prepare  you and your business for transfer to family members, sale or  merger ü   Understand  the true value of your business ü   Create  and preserve value within your business ü   Collaborate  with tax, legal and financial advisors to obtain realistic  goals ü   Transfer  ownership and value as profitably as possible ü   Integrate  personal, financial and estate planning objectives with your  business goals ü   Develop  strategies to protect your business assets ü   Maximize  after-tax profit and benefits for active and inactive family  members
  Who  should attend:  Minority  business owners, family members and key employees  looking to maximize the value of their enterprise in three to ten  years through sale, merger or transfer of their  business  Entrepreneurs  and investors  seeking to acquire an established business  Please  register on-line for this important Med Week Seminar.   Registration is required to attend - this seminar cannot accommodate  walk-in registrations.
