SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Protect Yourself In Business
DESCRIPTION:Life in business continues to be tough. While there has been record sales and revenue in some industry sectors\, others are still grappling with the cumulative impact of the stay-at-home orders\, the moving goal posts of restrictions placed on retail\, hospitality and tourism sectors\, the lingering impacts of the natural disasters that affected our regions and now rising prices and supply chain issues. \nThese impacts have exposed a range of risks\, that if not managed can severely impact business viability and ultimately the financial position of those closest to the business i.e. directors and owners. \nThe Rural Business Support Northern NSW team invites small businesses from across the regions of NSW to attend a webinar\, where the importance of identifying emerging risks and implementing effective “Business Protect” strategies will be explained. \nThe guest presenter for this webinar is Tim Gumbleton from RSM Australia based in Port Macquarie. \nTim has been employed in the accounting and consulting profession since the mid-1990s. Tim has been labelled a “corporate umpire” for his ability to resolve commercial and business disputes and find the best outcome in the most difficult of circumstances. \nTim has a demonstrated ability to resolve disputes\, develop and implement complex debt and financial solutions and manage sensitive and commercial financial issues. \nIn this webinar Tim will draw on his vast experience to discuss topics to assist you to Protect Yourself in Business such as: \n\nAsset protection and limiting personal liability\nLingering business uncertainty and emerging risks\nOptions to safeguard your business viability\nIdentifying risks and responding early\nDispute resolution including partnership\, shareholder\, family law and succession\nBusiness restructuring and safe harbour exit strategies\n\nThis webinar is limited to 50 participants.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Preparing Your Hospitality Business For Sale
DESCRIPTION:Selling a hospitality business is not the same as selling other types of businesses. There is plenty of evidence that a structured plan to exit your business can increase the sale value of the business significantly. Whilst there are parts of the transaction that are standard\, there are lots of differences when it comes to selling cafes\, restaurants\, bars and takeaway businesses. \nThe Team at Rural Business Support (Northern NSW) invites hospitality businesses from across the regions of NSW to attend a webinar\, where the importance of creating a structured exit plan will be explained. \nOur Presenter | Paul Leach from GSE Business Consultants\nThe guest presenter for this webinar is Paul Leach from GSE Business Consultants\, based in North Sydney. Paul is an incredible source of information and expertise on how to prepare a hospitality business for sale – for a more timely sale\, and a more profitable sale! \n\n\n\nPaul grew up in the food business\, his parents owned two very successful restaurants. In 1993 Paul opened his first Café called Hogarth’s. Since then\, Paul had built up and sold nine food businesses\, and loved every minute of working in those businesses and learnt a lot about how the sale process works. It was Paul’s love of the food industry that he really wanted to crack double digits and open shop number ten. Unfortunately\, the two things that Paul valued the most in his life\, his marriage and his health\, probably would not have lasted\, so he called it a day. \nPaul always felt that there was a better way to sell cafes and food businesses\, and that is where GSE Businesses Consultants and the “Six Steps to Sale” program originated. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is limited to 50 participants. This is an online ZOOM event that will be recorded and available to registered participants.\n\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/264964163947\nThis webinar is a series of four live webinars the team at Rural Business Support will be hosting as part of 2022 Small Business Month.
