Rupp Pfalzgraf is partnering with ESC, Meliora Partners, and Tronconi Segarra & Associates to present “Buying or Selling a Business: HR, Legal, Financial, and Operational Strategies to Maximize Value,” a panel discussion for business owners and executives.
Most business owners underestimate how early the groundwork needs to be laid and how many disciplines must be aligned for a transaction to succeed. Whether a deal is years away or already on your radar, the preparation you do today determines the value you realize tomorrow.
This panel will feature Benjamin Burge, Partner at Rupp Pfalzgraf, Liz Warren, EVP & Chief People Officer at ESC, Mark Ferm, CPA & Partner at Tronconi Segarra & Associates, and Ralph Jeswald, LSSMBB, CPA & Partner at Meliora Partners. The session is designed to provide business owners and executives with the strategic clarity they need to act with confidence and avoid the costly surprises that often surface during due diligence.
Attendees will walk away with insights on:
- How workforce structure, compensation, and HR compliance directly impact your company’s valuation.
- Identifying the process inefficiencies that quietly erode deal value.
- What buyers and sellers commonly overlook in financial reporting and deal structure.
- Navigating the liabilities that surface in M&A transactions before they become deal-breakers.
- Why a 1–7 year lead time is your greatest asset in maximizing a transition.
