The Center for Women’s Entrepreneurship at Chatham University, in conjunction with Grossman Yanak & Ford LLP, invites you to attend our Finance and Business Seminars in September, 2010.
Seminar 2: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 Question: What's Black and White and Hardly Ever Monitored by Any Business Owner? Answer: The value of your business Presenters: Melissa A. Bizyak, Senior Manager and Amy E. Mattie, Manager - Business Valuation Services Group of Grossman Yanak & Ford LLP Business owners work tirelessly to meet the everyday challenges of running a business leaving no time to ponder, “What is my business worth?” until an event occurs to force an owner to seek the answer. There is no time like the present to gain an understanding of what a business valuation is and when one should be undertaken. Every business owner, whether of an early stage or mature business, should have a handle on what drives the value of their company. Understanding the factors that determine the value of any business will pay tangible dividends by focusing on ways to maximize short and long-term profitability and shareholder wealth. Moreover, if you choose to sell your business at some point in the future, this knowledge will assist you in positioning your company to receive the highest price. This seminar will provide an introduction to business valuation. Attendees will be provided with examples of key factors that drive value, as well as become aware of specific instances when a business valuation would be helpful.
