The North Shore Chamber’s Small Business Council welcomed Michael McEntee from A. Neumann & Associates at its monthly meeting. Michael shared practical insights on preparing for a successful business exit, including how to determine your company’s true value, understand cash flow, and position your business for a future sale.
The workshop highlighted the importance of planning well before you’re ready to sell, maintaining confidentiality, and understanding what makes a business attractive to potential buyers. Michael also shared real-life examples of best practices and common mistakes to avoid when selling a business. Attendees asked thoughtful questions and participated in an engaging conversation, making the session both informative and interactive.
Attendees also enjoyed delicious açaí samples from SoBol, adding a refreshing treat to the morning.
