A lot rests on the success of your business.
Are you ready for a smooth transition when the time is right? Planning for the transition of your business to the right people, at the right time, for the right amount of money, is key. While most business owners think planning for the transition of their business at death is key, a transition during their lifetime is much more likely. Knowing what your business is worth, and having a buy-sell agreement in place can help protect the future of your business.
Do you know what your business is worth?
Request an informal business valuation to provide you with a meaningful value and feedback to help ensure your business is protected for both planned and unplanned events.
Tie it all together for a smooth transition
Request a review of your buy-sell agreement to help ensure your buy-sell agreement reflects your current financial situation, and a strategy for a more satisfying outcome for you and those who rely on the success of your business.

ATA members are invited to the Gettysburg Leadership Experience taking place May 14-16, 2024.
Gettysburg Leadership Experience
The importance of the high ground –The Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863 was the turning point of the American Civil War. The unexpected Union victory in the largest battle ever fought in North America was the last time Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was on the strategic offensive. The Battle of Gettysburg demonstrates the power of team alignment, reflects the danger of lost opportunities, and offers penetrating insight into the importance of holding the high ground, communicating clear intent, and the critical role played by leaders of character in driving organizational success.
