Should I grow my business or sell it?

Presenter: Dave Heymann, Senior Mergers & Acquisitions Advisor, Generational Group

Many owners treat their business as if it is how they earn a living, or as their passion, or profession. The business itself is an investment, a financial asset. Wise investors know financial assets need to either be grown or be sold. Often owners don’t know how to grow a business INTENTIONALLY vs. OPPORTUNISTICALLY. When it comes to value, we always have an idea what our home and our stocks are worth but many owners have the wrong idea about the value of their business. During this session attendees will learn how a business is actually valued by buyers and what forces drive value up or down. We will also discuss the CORRECT way to grow a business INTENTIONALLY so that the return justifies the risk of owning a privately-held business.

11:10 - 12:10 PM

COVID-19 workplace discrimination & reasonable accommodations—challenges, strategies and concerns

Presenter: Dr. Cindy Larson DeMarco and Robin Stacy, Insperity

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected industries and workplaces all across this country. And, while we navigate through these ever-changing guidelines, along with understanding and applying new and existing laws, we must remember employees are still protected against discrimination and other work-related misconduct.
