SUMMARY:Your Business Endgame
DESCRIPTION:Build a More Valuable Business — for today and tomorrow.\nYou’ve worked hard to create something customers are happy to pay more for than what it costs you to deliver — and that’s always something to be proud of. But when mature Canadian Entrepreneurs have the opportunity to zoom out and view their business as an asset they quickly learn that profitable does not automatically mean valuable. \nUnfortunately\, after decades investing blood\, sweat and tears (and money)\, many Canadian Entrepreneurs are disappointed by the limited opportunities they have to exit their business. \nThe good news? It’s always a good time to add value to your business model. Whether you’re just getting started or you want to start planning your off ramp this workshop will help you do that in a way that leads to greater rewards. \nJoin the Grey County Business Enterprise Centre for YOUR ENDGAME\, an in-person workshop led by Canadian Business Consultant Stephanie Ruth Grimbly\, designed specifically for Canadian entrepreneurs ready to add value to their business model and take control of their future. \nIn this inspiring and practical session\, you’ll discover: \nWhy creating a valuable business matters \n– not just for your exit strategy\, but for your freedom\, legacy\, and peace of mindWhat actually drives business value \n– and how your business stacks up using a research-backed\, Canadian-developed market-value assessment toolHow to take action now \n– to build a more valuable\, scalable business\, no matter your size\, industry\, or stage \nWhether you’re planning for the future or just starting to think big\, this workshop will help you see your business through a new lens — and empower you to make it everything it can be. \nYour future self (and buyers) will thank you. \nYour Endgame Facilitator: \nStephanie Ruth Grimbly is the passionate founder of New Territory – a consulting practice dedicated to helping Canadian Entrepreneurs add value to their business models in order to get more reward for the risks they take. \nSince 2017\, Steph has led small business Owners and staff through the challenging but necessary process of data-driven organizational change. \nShe applies her unique blend of higher education\, technical business skills and real-world work experience working IN and working ON Small Canadian Businesses to make meaningful change actually happen. \n*this is an in-person event. Light refreshments will be served. We will meet in the Hotdesk Room\, Sydenham Campus.
