Industry Breakfast: Future-proof your business to reap the rewards tomorrow
For most owners, their business is their number one asset, investment and income stream. Yet according to recent research by accounting and advisory firm William Buck, only 35% of owners have a plan for the future of their business. Failing to proactively plan for the future can result in a loss of income, limited options for exit and failure to realise the full value of your most valuable asset.
Understanding your future exit is fundamental in determining the strategic direction of your business today.
Join the Manufacturing LAB at Australian Manufacturing Week for a lively and interactive panel discussion in which our experts will share their tips for future proofing your manufacturing business.
