Who Should Attend?
Roofing contractor owners, partners and CEOs who are positioning themselves to sell or transfer their ownership in the next 3-10 years. This includes:

• Large Companies—Cash flows over $1 million
• Small Companies—Cash flows under $1 million

• First, second and third generation companies
• Sole owners and multi owner companies

The Challenge

A roofing contractor/owner intuitively understands the daily risks they face with safety, economic cycles, recession, insurance, cash flow, weather, bonding, government regulations, contracts and labor agreements.

But, most do not understand the risk and challenge of exiting a business. The odds of success are heavily stacked against you. How many contractors, large and small, young and old, have you personally witnessed fail only to leave their wife, family and associates without a future or income?

Consider the odds against the exiting owner:

• Seventy percent of small businesses fail to transfer into the 2nd generation
• Ninety percent will fail into the 3rd generation.

If you are serious about protecting your wealth then you need to attend this seminar. You will then understand the process you need to prepare yourself and the company for the next 3-5 or 15 years and position yourself for a sale or transfer.

An industry survey concluded that most business owners have over 70% of their wealth stuck inside their businesses. In order to retire owners will need to monetize this trapped wealth, replace their income and replace themselves and move on to the next chapter of life.

Owners need to prepare for the next window of opportunity to exit their business. Many companies need to build up their value, restructure their company, move their management team to a higher level and determine the next CEO.

Roofing contractors have a basic understanding of what is required for succession and the business sales process but have no systematic tools to prepare for this complicated legal, financial, and time consuming process.

Kevin Kennedy exited the 62 year-old roofing business in 2008 with two other owners (Evans Roofing Company)  and speaks with an authentic voice that will leave owners with:

• Understanding of their challenge
• Options and exit paths that fit your company
• Different values, benefits and compromises of each exit option
• Information to explore the tax issues and net amount for your exit
• A path to begin planning and organizing their business and management team
• A timeline to begin replacing their income and moving into their next stage of life

What is an Exit & Succession Plan?

An Exit Plan focuses on monetizing the business and moving onto the next stage in life. The plan establishes and controls the process of when, who, and how to monetize the illiquid wealth trapped in your business and protect your wealth. Writing and creating the plan can take between three and nine months and will determine all your options for exiting your business.

A well-devised exit plan shows business owners how to begin positioning themselves and their businesses so that the owners can accomplish all of their personal, financial and business goals. It is a complex process that protects the business and leverages the value of the company with a comprehensive and executable plan.

A Succession Plan is about grooming the management to move into leadership and finding a new CEO. In a broader sense, it is about creating a culture of continuous succession that focuses on the human capital to delivering a top-quality product to your customer, and protecting the future of the company with an orderly transition.

This can take between two to seven years depending on the professional level of your management team. A well-devised succession plan shows business owners how to replace themselves by a succession process that moves the key players into professional management and then into leadership with a comprehensive plan to deal with:

• Establishing a clear direction
• Professionalizing the company
• Development and improvement of management systems
• Development and training of the human capital
• Development of teamwork and leadership
• Selection of new owners and/or a CEO
