QLD Members' Lunch

Proudly sponsored by Pitcher Partners.

Succession Planning – preparing your business for transfer of ownership

Business surveys and CEO Institute members consistently rank Succession Planning as a topic of high importance to middle market business owners, yet relatively few have a strategy or plan for transitioning ownership of the business. 

In this topical and timely session, Warwick Face will share valuable insights and experience in planning and executing successful business divestments. Warwick will also discuss the factors driving value from the perspective of both vendors and acquirers, and how to ensure you give your business the opportunity to turn vision into value.

Alex Pollock, Director Corporate Finance, will present an overview of Queensland's M&A activity and sector-specific trends observed throughout 2024. This presentation will be based on the findings from Pitcher Partners' annual Deal Pulse research report, which is set to be released in March 2025.
