The Haliburton County Development Corporation, the Haliburton County Home Builders Association, the Business Development Bank of Canada, and the Haliburton Highlands Chamber of Commerce are joining together to present a free panel of industry experts on succession planning for local businesses and entrepreneurs.
It will be held at The Link coworking space in Haliburton from 5:30-7:30 p.m. March 19 and will feature seven experts, in the fields of law, accounting, estate planning, real estate and more.
Succession planning helps to make a smooth transition to new ownership while maintaining the values of an established business. Business owners, new entrepreneurs, and anyone wondering about the future of their business, are welcome to attend.
Panelists will cover what business owners and sole proprietors need to know about succession planning and answer questions from attendees. HCDC executive director Patti Tallman said,
“HCDC is committed to serving business owners and the Haliburton County community. Succession planning is about planning for your leadership team to leave the business and plan for a smooth transition to new ownership while maintaining the core values. A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
Aggie Tose, executive officer of HCHBA, added, “the Haliburton County Home Builders Association works hard for their members. Succession planning is important to keep our industry strong and vibrant.”
Amanda Conn, executive director of the Haliburton Highlands Chamber of Commerce, said it’s never too early to start succession planning and consider the different paths for your business as it evolves. “Whether you are developing your initial business plan, actively executing your succession plan, or any point in between, this session and the chamber are here to support you at every stage in your succession planning journey.”
Attendees are asked to pre-register by contacting HCDC at 705-457-3555 or emailing ebarlow@haliburtoncdc.ca. Light snacks will be available. Located at 5152 County Rd 21 (beside Timber Mart).
