Assuring the Continuation of Your Business Webinar

Learn about mistakes successful businesses overcome

By Tim O’Toole

The Mason Contractors Association of America will host the “Assuring the Successful Continuation of Your Business” webinar on Wednesday, February 23, 2011, at 9:00 AM CT.

Profitability aside, keeping family-owned and privately held businesses alive in today's marketplace has become increasingly more challenging. Statistically, only one-third of family businesses will survive to a second generation. In fact, all privately held businesses, regardless if they're family owned, face the challenge of continuing into the future and making sure the owners of those businesses actually receive value during their lifetime.

This course will address some of the biggest challenges faced in transitioning one's business and the cost and tax challenges that must somehow be met. Attendees will learn techniques to avoid unforeseen - yet very common - mistakes that even the most successful business owners encounter.

Tickets for this webinar can be purchased at www.masoncontractors.org/live.
