Preparing Your Business for an Eventual Sale

This presentation is hosted by Ron Myers, Business Coach and Mentor from Aesthetic Business Partners LLP and Haider Mawji, Financial Director from The CFO and FD Centre.

Ron helps aesthetic clinics and suppliers to maximise their profits. With a proven business background in identifying and capitalising on trends, and with a love of the natural world, Ron is keen to champion and incorporate sustainability issues in the Aesthetic arena.

After a career in the pharmaceutical industry, which included being involved in the launch of Botox® in 1994, Ron, with his business partner Martyn Roe, set up a consultancy business called Aesthetic Business Services. They helped to develop Wigmore Medical’s “one-stop-shop” concept for aesthetic suppliers and launched the FACE conference, www.faceconference.com, in 2002.

Haider Mawji is an entrepreneurially minded FD who has evolved his skill set from a traditional background in finance. He has experienced a high-energy career to date, with 20 years achievement at Board level within the TMT and Travel/Hospitality sectors.

Haider is a dynamic and results-driven individual with a proven track record of increasing profitability, sourcing and successfully delivering external financing, raising credit lines and generating significant savings in operations.

His strong ability to innovate and question has been fundamental to successfully developing, re-engineering and managing financial operations and divisions, both in the UK and internationally.
Haider has extensive financial experience and knowledge, from start up’s to PLC’s. His spirited personality makes him an ambitious FD, who thrives on naturally creating strategic alliances to support and develop key business initiatives.

Having gone through a business sale in 2019, I found that I was unprepared for the actual process, and that the business was poorly structured in terms of having the most advantageous outcome from a tax perspective. In this session I explore different aspects of making your business more saleable, and review strategies that every business owner should think of when starting their business, and certainly several years before a potential sale to maximise the actual cash that they can extract from their blood sweat and tears!
