WALTHAM, MA and MANSFIELD, MA…
While the decision to sell your business may be quick, the process of preparing your business for sale can take months or even years to get right. Greg DeSimone, director of Mansfield, MA-based Catapult Advisory Group, will be a key speaker at the upcoming Elements M&A Conference on May 12, which focuses on the steps involved with selling a closely held business.
“When a business owner decides to sell, it’s typically with the next step of his/her life in mind; such as retirement. In many cases, the owner desires a certain value for the business yet the marketplace has a different perspective. Many owners do not realize the significant role increasing revenues plays in the determination of value. The focus of my talk and the Elements M&A Conference overall is to provide the owner insight into what the buyers are thinking, and how they can positively impact their value leading up to a sale,” said DeSimone.
DeSimone will be one of five featured speakers at the conference, which will take place on Thursday, May 12, from 1 pm to 7 pm at the Embassy Suites at 550 Winter Street in Waltham. Topics to be covered at breakout sessions and panel discussions include: Enhancing Your Value; Preparing your Accounting for Sale; How to Negotiate with Different Types of People Protecting Intellectual Property to Promote Value; and Accelerating Growth to Catapult Value.
“The beauty of the Elements M&A conference is that it focuses only on the business owner who wants to learn about selling a business, ask questions within a safe environment without the sales pitch and avoid the mandatory “follow up” meetings of other sessions. It also meets the needs of professional advisors—CPAs, attorneys—who want to better understand the process outside of his/her own specialty,” said DeSimone.
The registration fee for the M&A Elements Conference II is $265. Additional information on the conference and registration can be found on the Elements M&A website at www.elementsconference.info.
A self-described “recovering CPA”, DeSimone has nearly two decades of financial and management experience. He’s also a Brian Tracy certified business coach—a certification that requires more than 150 hours of study to obtain and maintain. During his tenure as director of Catapult Advisory Group, he has worked with numerous businesses of all sizes—particularly family-owned businesses—to help them fine-tune goals and strategies, develop exit strategies and optimize operations.
