Empowering business owner conversations (CE approved)
Working with business owners can be challenging and yet very lucrative. We know from the Exit Planning Institute’s 2025 State of Owner Readiness, Canada National Report that 51% of owners want to exit their business in the next 10 years. This research also tells us that although 72% of business owners agree that having a transition plan is important for both their business and their personal future, 78% have no written transition plan and 74% have no external advisory team in place. This is a space that is ripe with opportunity. “Empowering business owner conversations: becoming the business owner’s most trusted advisor” is about embedding yourself with business owners so that you're a trusted team member when the liquidity event occurs.
