The Small Firms Association (SFA) in association with Ulster Bank and Mazars are hosting a series of FREE seminars on “Succession Planning for Owner-Managers” at different locations around the country.
Unfortunately we only received the notice this afternoon, and the Cork event is today 
. However the seminar is being hosted at various locations around the country during October.
Here’s a list:
Cork Monday, 6th October Clarion Hotel
Limerick Wednesday, 8th October Clarion Hotel Suites
Galway Thursday, 9th October Ardilaun House Hotel
Letterkenny Monday, 13th October Radisson Hotel
Carrickmacross Tuesday, 14th October Nuremore Hotel
Dublin Wednesday, 15th October Confederation House, 84-86 Lr Baggot Street
All of the events run from 6.30-8.30pm, with registration commencing at 6.00pm. Teas, coffees and sandwiches will be served prior to the event.
The seminars are free, but booking (via the SFA website events pages) is essential, as places are limited. Documentation including a copy of the SFA’s newly published “Succession Planning Guidelines” will be available on the night.
Here’s some spiel from the SFA:
The purpose of the seminars is to deliver relevant and up to date information on succession planning, so that you can transfer your assets in the most appropriate manner. The seminar will ensure that you will foresee financial pitfalls as well as help you realise your goals and preferences for the family business.
An expert panel of speakers from Ulster Bank and Mazars will present the seminars and will focus on the following topics:
- Succession Planning – the issues surrounding the passing on of the business and other assets to the next generation.
- Valuing the Business – gaining a greater understanding of the value of the business and methods of valuation.
- Effecting the Transaction – the options available including a buy-out; sale or a simple handover of the reins.
- Taxation – planning for and dealing with the areas of taxation in respect of a business transfer.
- Wealth Management – how to protect the value of generated wealth.
