- **Event Description**: Exit planning is not something to begin when you are ready to leave.About this EventMany successful business owners assume exit planning can wait until retirement, a sale, or another major transition gets closer. But the decisions being made today are already shaping the company’s future options, including how dependent it is on the owner, how easily it could transfer, and how much long-term value is being built.This month’s featured insight comes from Isaiah Merriman, Financial Advisor at Edward Jones. Isaiah will explain why exit planning is an ongoing business process rather than a last-minute event. Attendees will learn how planning earlier can support better decisions, stronger structure, greater owner independence, and more freedom long before anyone is ready to leave the business.The education is only one part of the evening. Each company can bring a real business issue it is currently facing. The room will build a list, vote on which issue would be most valuable to address, and Jay Nelson will guide the selected issue through Desired Outcome, Current Reality, Root Cause, Options, and Next Action. The goal is not to completely solve a complicated problem in one session, but to clarify it, break it down, and move it toward a practical next step.The Small Business Working Session is open to owners, managers, employees, advisors, future leaders, and company representatives from local small businesses. It is built for people who want stronger direction, clearer responsibilities, less owner dependence, and a business that becomes healthier and more valuable over time.Connect with local businesspeople. Learn from a qualified expert. Work through a real issue and leave with a clear next step.
