Byron McFarland - Lead Speaker, American Institute's Family Business Connection August 20!

Byron will be interviewing Jim Murray, President of Murray Drywall. They will be discussing the steps and decision making process that they went through in order to design Jim's Exit Strategy. (Byron and Jim started developing Jim’s plan late last year, even though Jim intends to continue working for years to come).  Byron's presentation will help attendees gain insight on issues they should be considering when working towards a management and/or ownership transition plan, be it to family members or key employees.

Plan For the Future of Your Business Now

Since 1986, Byron has focused on helping closely held business owners strategize for one of the most important financial events in their lives:

The Successful Transition Out of Their Business...Planned or Unplanned

Importance of Exit Planning

Most closely held business owners realize the importance of exit planning, but many have only a partial plan or none at all.

Why? Some reasons include:

  • They are too busy working in their business to take the time to plan. 
  • They are uncertain where to begin or how to complete their plan. 
  • They are uncertain how to divide business and estate among family members.
  • They want to sell to key employees, but think there is not the cash to make that happen.

Through an interactive process, Byron helps his clients focus on what they value, instead of what they own to help address these concerns and more. 

Byron starts by helping the owner get clarity around his or her objectives. From there he works with the business owner and their team of advisors to formulate a plan for fulfillment of those objectives.  When necessary, he collaborates with a “virtual” team of experts throughout the country, who are specialists in their field, to supplement an owner's current advisory team.
