Passing the Baton – Successful business Succession
For most owners, selling their business represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realise the value of a lifetime’s work.
For this session we are delighted to be joined by corporate finance professionalMark Garner.
Together our discussions will include:
Mark has been lead adviser on around 250 deals. Unusually he has also acquired, developed and sold on businesses in his own right so he speaks from first hand experience.
Chadwick’s masterclasses last around two hours with questions and be of interest to business owners and their advisers.
I have been a regular attendee at Chadwick’s business seminars for several years and without fail I have found the sessions to be useful and practical on the one hand whilst thought provoking and inspiring on the other. Many advisers can put on topical seminars, few can make you feel that you want to go on to study the subject yourself! Dawn Parkes| Managing Partner | Hatch Brenner

There has never been a better time for East England businesses to grow by trading overseas, and website sales are becoming an ever more important means for business growth, but what do you need to consider when seeking more sales through your website? For example, did you know that 70% of world internet users search in languages other than English? So if you are running an English based website you can take steps to become more visible. Research by PayPal found an estimated 86.4 million of shoppers, from 29 countries surveyed, bought from the UK in the last 12 months. Products from the UK have proved particularly sought-after amongst Chinese shoppers, who made up a quarter of the estimated 86.4 million buyers over the past year.

An experienced International Trade Adviser from the Department for International Trade will provide an overview of the services available, and will provide hands-on hints and tips on exporting, whether you are selling through your website or via more traditional methods.
