Business Killers: A 90 Minute Educational Experience Exclusively for Business OwnersOur Office, 1401 Mercantile Lane, 221
Upper Marlboro, MD 20774
Cost: FREE
FENDING OFF BUSINESS KILLERS
It has often been said that failure to plan is equivalent to planning to fail.
Every day business owners face new challenges, opportunities and decisions. But there are six major mistakes that consistently threaten a businesses financial success. Learning what they are and how to avoid them is vital to the long term success of any business.
The AGA Group hosts BusinessKillers, a unique and educational workshop presented by Stellar Financial, LLC, that addresses the critical mistakes in planning and protection that can impact the owner’s personal financial future. It is an interactive workshop that lets the business owner examine their own situation in an engaging atmosphere.
BusinessKillers can help you learn from the mistakes of others. And you'll experience it all in a concise, interactive, video format —No slides, charts or graphs.
Mistakes Examined
Is your business your retirement?
What if the value of your business drops 40% just before you plan to retire? Or sell? How do you protect your assets? What if you are unable to work for a period of time due to an illness or injury? What would happen to your personal income?
This is an example of just one mistake examined within the BusinessKillers workshop.
The 6 Fatal Mistakes
1. I know what my business is worth
2. I'm too busy running the company
3. That'll never happen to me
4. There is plenty of time for that
5. My Business is my Retirement
6. You can’t beat Uncle Sam
These six mistakes are all potentially fatal assumptions business owners can make at various stages of operation.
Assessment
Business Risk Barometer
A unique and powerful aspect of the BusinessKillers workshop is the ability for you to evaluate your businesses individual risk. The risk barometer booklet provides key focus questions for you to answer relative to each mistake, allowing you to receive immediate feedback on areas requiring attention.
No matter what stage of the game your business is in, the key to fending off the BusinessKillers is to make a plan and get in the game —starting right now.
