Is this workshop for me?
This session is for owners of established privately held businesses preparing an annual plan. You can be planning to keep, grow, step back from or sell your business.
Do I need to know the iBD Ownership OS?
No. We'll introduce the ideas you need during the session. The related resources are optional, and you do not need to be an iBD member to attend.
Will I leave with a completed valuation or annual budget?
You'll work on the questions, assumptions and priorities that inform them. A company-specific valuation and completed budget require further financial work and review.
The next workshop is taking shape.
