Dear Guest

STARTING UP OR SELLING UP?

HOW TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE VALUE OF YOUR BUSINESS

You will be shocked to learn how easy it can be to unwittingly depress the value of your business – something you may only find out about when you try and sell up.  In this seminar we look at the importance of recognising the intellectual property most businesses hold, what needs to be done to protect it, how to maximise the tax reliefs relating to it and how to prepare for a sale.  This seminar is aimed at owners of, and advisers to, businesses falling in the range from start up to £10m value.  The seminar is free and we guarantee that you will learn something new or we’ll refund the admission fee!
