Thousands of Wisconsin businesses are owned and managed by baby boomers who will be reaching retirement over the next 20 years. What then? What will be the "Next Stage" for their business?
The Small Business Times will explore the answers to those questions when it conducts an M&A Forum, titled "The Next Stage," on Thursday, March 27, from 7:30 to 11 a.m. at The Pfister Hotel, 424 E. Wisconsin Ave.
The event will examine different exit strategies, including recapitalizations, employee stock ownership programs, management buyouts, sale to private equity firms, mergers with strategic partners and more.
Business owners are invited to attend the conference to learn more about their options. In addition, professionals such as attorneys, accountants, bankers, consultants and others who provide services to business owners are invited to attend the event.
The keynote speaker of the forum will be Mark Herndon, president of Dallas-based Parkwood Advisors LLC, a diversified professional services firm focused on M&A, investment banking and private equity investing. Herndon also is the co-author of "The Complete Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions: Process Tools to support M&A Integration at Every Level."
The event will include breakout sessions from 9:15 to 10 a.m. and from 10:15 to 11 a.m., presented by Emory & Co., The PrivateBank and Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren S.C., sponsors of the event.
