ESC: Buying or Selling a Business 6/10/26

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.

Join experts from ESC, Meliora Partners, Tronconi Segarra & Associates, and Rupp Pfalzgraf, LLC for a candid, facilitated panel. This session is designed to provide the strategic clarity you need to act with confidence and avoid the costly surprises that often surface during due diligence.

You’ll walk away with insight 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.
