About the Event

Planning to stay in business forever? That’s still an exit strategy.

At some point, every business owner leaves their business — by choice, by circumstance, or by timing they didn’t see coming. Most owners wait too long to think about succession, sale readiness or exit planning. By then, value has already leaked out through messy financials, unclear structure, weak systems or a business that depends too heavily on one person.

The real question is this: when that day comes, will your business be ready?

Join us for a practical and thought-provoking Breakfast Insights panel on Business Succession and Exit Strategies — designed for business owners who want to build something stronger, more valuable, and less dependent on them.

This won’t be a dry legal or finance lecture. It’s a real-world panel conversation with three experienced advisers who work with Queensland SMEs every day. Together, they’ll unpack what makes a business more attractive, transferable and resilient — whether you’re planning to sell in a few years, bring in a successor, or simply want to create a business that can run without everything resting on your shoulders.

You’ll hear honest insights on what buyers notice, what quietly reduces business value, and what practical steps you can start taking now to improve your position later.

Who Should Attend?

This session is ideal for:

• Small business owners and SME leaders
• Sole traders, consultants and founders
• Professional service providers supporting business owners
• Accountants, bookkeepers and financial planners
• Lawyers, business coaches and advisers
• Anyone wanting a clearer understanding of succession, value and long-term business readiness

Why Attend?

Because succession isn’t just about selling. It’s about building a business that gives you more options, more freedom and more value over time.

Even if you have no intention of exiting any time soon, this conversation will help you build a healthier business now.
