Business Transitions Forum, Vancouver, Tackles How to Value Your Company

Business Transitions Forum focuses on planning and transactional strategies guaranteed to smooth the transition of business ownership, while demystifying the process required to successfully sell your business. You will leave with the tools to create your own roadmap while understanding best practices and the roles played by expert advisors so that you can build your own team, if necessary. BTF’s large scale allows for anonymity if you prefer to blend into the crowd.
Jacoline B. Loewen, Featured Speaker and leader of BTF panel
I will be leading a panel of experts to discuss who are the experts that an entrepreneur needs to begin the process of transition. Questions that will be addressed include:
  • Where do I start and who can assist me?
  • What dictates how much my company is worth?
  • Who is buying businesses now and what are they looking for?
  • What tactics will maximize the value of my company while minimizing taxes?
  • How can I avoid compromising my marketplace while I look for buyers?
  • What will I do with the proceeds (and my identity) after the sale?
  • How can I assess the risks of succession within my family?
  • Why do so many business transitions fail?
Thinking about the future ownership of your business and don’t know where to start? Join us!

Gloria Steinem is too political in Toronto

Vanessa Grant, McCarthy Tetrault, kindly invited me to hear Gloria Steinem speak in Toronto. Gloria is an admirable person who has made a huge change in attitudes in society and I was excited to hear her speak and wondered what her message would be.
It was disappointing to hear her start with the right wing's attitude to women's reproduction. According to Gloria, the right wing only want hearth and home and sex is for the reproduction of the species, nothing more. This Footloose style attitude has certainly not stuck around in Canada and as I sat with a table of dynamic female lawyers, all partners at McCarthy, I wondered if Gloria's activist message no longer had the same urgency for North American women.
I also wondered if the American right wing did believe that sex was all around procreation. Quite the image painted by Gloria.
