As Wisconsin faces a significant wave of business owner retirements over the next decade, often called the "silver tsunami," it is crucial to ensure the continuity and success of these enterprises. This webinar, hosted by WI CEO, will provide valuable strategies and tactics to maintain and grow businesses during this transition period, safeguarding both the companies and their employees.

Join us to explore various employee ownership models and learn why effective succession planning is the cornerstone of business retention. Whether you're an economic developer looking to modernize your Business Retention and Expansion Program questionnaire, or you're working with an employer in need of succession planning resources, this course provides essential insights and alternatives to simply shutting down.

Attendees will gain knowledge about:

How to include succession planning and employee ownership options in their business retention efforts
Specific questions to ask business owners to prepare them for exiting their businesses
The three main forms of employee ownership and which businesses can fit into each
important resources in Wisconsin to provide business owners considering employee ownership as an exit strategy
