Thank you vcfo and Broadway Bank for the opportunity to be a part of the "Thinking of Selling Your Business" luncheon and panel discussion last week! Focus Strategies' Managing Director Terese Everson was a panelist alongside JC DUQUE, CEPA® with Broadway Bank and Veronica Nunn with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP. Ken Dorward did a fantastic job moderating the event and providing his personal and professional experience to the audience. The panelists tackled the current M&A market, valuation enhancers and distractors, buyer types, deal structures, and post-sale considerations. An insightful event and we were thrilled to be a part of it! #businessowners #mergersandacquisitions #transactions #guidance
