The Wisconsin Chapter of The Exit Planning Institute (EPI) is holding its 2022 Owners Forum on November 3, 2022, at Westmoor Country Club, Brookfield, Wis. This year’s Forum is “Bringing It All Together to Maximize Your Greatest Asset, Your Business.”

The Forum will provide business owners with a look at the future – where the business has the potential to go, and how business owners may maximize the value of their greatest personal asset – their business. The event is for business owners; however, advisors are welcome with a business owner guest.

Erik Owen, president of EPI Wisconsin, and president and founder of Oak Hill Business Partners said, “We are excited to host another Owner’s Forum to help educate owners on their options for exiting their business. Again this year we will have business owners sharing their journeys with the attendees as well as experts discussing the ins and outs of exit planning and execution. You don’t want to miss this event.”

Attendees will learn the personal journey of three business owners that have gone through the full entrepreneurial journey, including selling the company to monetize the value of their companies.

Additionally, the Forum will feature an “Ask Me Anything” panel of advisors from the Wisconsin EPI chapter. A CPA and value growth advisor, financial and insurance advisor, transactional attorney, and investment banker will field audience questions to help an owner grow, protect, and successfully transition their business asset from paper wealth to money in the bank.
