SUMMARY:Succession Success: Valuing Your Business (Session 2 of 6)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online. \n\n\n\nPresented by Vabby Makkar\, Cedar Consulting Group \n\n\n\nCome spend an hour with Vabby Makkar from Cedar Consulting Group and finally get a straight answer to the question every owner asks: What’s my business really worth? In plain language and real Ontario context\, Vaibhav will walk you through exactly what business valuation means\, why it’s the make-or-break number for any exit\, succession\, or financing conversation\, and how to arrive at a fair market value you can defend to buyers\, banks\, or the CRA. \n\n\n\nYou’ll discover the three core methods—asset-based\, income-based\, and market-based approaches—explained with simple examples so you can start applying them right away. We’ll spotlight the local factors that move the needle in Ontario\, from industry benchmarks to provincial tax rules\, and show you how to engage the right Chartered Business Valuator who actually knows our market. Most importantly\, you’ll learn practical\, high-impact ways to boost your value before you sell—clean financials\, self-sufficient team\, recurring revenue\, strong contracts—so you’re not leaving money on the table. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also tackle the stat that keeps owners up at night: 43% of Canadian businesses struggle with valuation (per CFIB). You won’t be one of them. Walk out with a valuation starter checklist that helps you list assets\, apply basic multiples\, and sketch a preliminary range—something you can refine with your accountant this week. \n\n\n\nWhether exit is tomorrow or a decade away\, knowing your number changes everything. Join us\, get the clarity you need\, and start planning from a position of strength.  \n\n\n\nIf you’re serious about getting the most out of this session\, come prepared with your last three years of income statements pre-populated in Excel. It’ll make following along and applying the concepts a whole lot easier and faster. Expect a to walk-out with practical knowledge of how to value your business. \n\n\n\nAbout The Presenter: \n\n\n\nVabby Makkar\, CPA and CBV\, brings over a decade of expertise in finance\, accounting\, and asset management—shaping deals at an institutional level with millions in profits while also guiding businesses as small as a single-location retail shop.

SUMMARY:Succession Success: Legal Considerations (Session 4 of 6)
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online. \n\n\n\nPresented by Hussein A. Hamdani\, SimpsonWigle LAW \n\n\n\nJoin us for an engaging and practical session with Hussein A. Hamdani from SimpsonWigle LAW\, where you’ll get a clear\, plain-language roadmap to the legal side of succession planning—without the jargon or overwhelm. We’ll walk through how to make sure your plan is backed by solid\, enforceable documents that protect your business\, your family\, and your wealth\, no matter what comes up. You’ll learn how to spot and fix potential legal pitfalls before they become expensive problems\, and get a straightforward breakdown of the key Ontario laws that matter most—like the Succession Law Reform Act and Family Law Act—so you know exactly what’s at play. \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore the smartest ways to transfer ownership\, whether that’s selling shares\, gifting them to family\, or setting up an employee stock ownership plan that keeps your team motivated and involved. You’ll see how properly structured shareholder or partnership agreements can prevent disputes\, clarify exit rules\, and keep everyone aligned. We’ll also dive into buy-sell agreements—how they work\, why they’re essential\, and how life insurance can fund them so a sudden death or disability doesn’t sink the ship. \n\n\n\nAnd because life doesn’t follow a script\, we’ll chat about how you can build flexible backup plans and alternative scenarios so your succession strategy holds up under pressure. By the end\, you’ll walk away with a simple legal succession checklist you can use right away to audit your current agreements\, flag what’s missing\, and know exactly what to discuss with your lawyer. This isn’t about memorizing laws—it’s about giving you the confidence that your wishes will be respected and your business protected\, even in the toughest situations. \n\n\n\nDon’t leave your legacy to chance. Get the legal clarity you need—join us and plan with confidence. \n\n\n\nAbout The Presenter: \n\n\n\nHussein is the Assistant Managing Partner at SimpsonWigle LAW\, specializing in corporate commercial law with a focus on commercial and residential real estate.
