Launching in September 2022: Exit Planning Institute Cincinnati Chapter

    CINCINNATI, OH, September 07, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Exit Planning Institute™, in cooperation with a collaborative team of top advisors and leaders from the Cincinnati marketplace, are joining forces to launch the Exit Planning Institute Cincinnati Chapter on September 28, 2022, hosted at The Kenwood Towers, Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, OH 45236. This local chapter is different than many other networking professional organizations in the market. The EPI Chapter is cross-functional, meaning it attracts and engages advisors, experts, thought leaders, media, and business owners from diverse backgrounds. These leaders engage in exit planning and value acceleration education that ensures the continuity of the local marketplace and improves the success rates for transitioning businesses as owners look towards their future.

As evident in the vast amount of recent research studies, including the State of Owner Readiness™ Survey, the U.S. landscape is set to transition six million businesses over the next 5-10 years. Baby boomer business owners are reaching retirement at a rapid rate, and these same owners own 66% of all companies in the United States of America. According to recent research conducted by EPI, most baby boomer owners have not accounted for their ultimate exit transition. Statistics show that only two out of ten businesses on the market sell. Without proper planning, owners run the risk of getting a lower price for their business than they need, or even worse, they fail to sell at all.

"Most business owners only get one chance to sell or transition their business. Our mission is to educate, support, and prepare owners and their trusted advisors to create the best possible outcome. This chapter is charged with starting that process years in advance of a sale, to ensure the owner maximizes the sale of their business, their families are financially prepared, and they have a plan for what's next."
– Tyler Holocher, CEPA, CFP President, Cincinnati Chapter

The EPI Chapter Network creates a forum where the local community of professional advisors can collaborate and address the unique needs of their community. Chapters develop educational programs for business owners and professional advisors that build awareness and better prepare an owner for the successful exit of their business. The purpose of the EPI Chapter Network is to create, encourage, and foster the adoption of best practices in the exit planning profession. Chapters promote the common interests of business advisors engaged in exit planning.

The EPI Cincinnati Chapter will host monthly meetings and encourages your ongoing participation. Learn more at www.EPICincinnati.com. If you are interested in more information or if you are an owner interested in attending, please reach out to the Exit Planning Institute Community Coordinator, Jenna Meredith at [email protected].
