What is it: A 60 minute workshop on how to build enterprise value in startups and SMEs

Why is it important: Value is not determined by revenue or profit alone and in order to build holistic value, founders and executive teams need a bespoke plan that focuses on a number of key criteria throughout the life of the business.

What are the benefits: Create a bespoke plan that compounds value over the lifespan of a business, removing assumption led thinking around how external stakeholders might value your business and mitigate factors that can impact value at a liquidity event like an investment round or exit.

Who it is for: Founders, owner operators and executive management of ambitious startups and SMEs who want to build sustainable value over the lifecycle of their business.

Date & Time: Wednesday, March 30 between 13:00 - 14:00 (GMT)
