How to prepare for the best exit

13th October 2026

08:30 - 11:30

Piccadilly House, 49 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AP

How can founders avoid the most costly mistakes when preparing for exit – and maximise value creation for the best outcome?

Regret prevention starts with planning – and advice from the right advisors early enough to make a difference.

For those exploring growth capital or planning for exit, it’s vital to understand the strategic decisions that need to be made to enhance equity value, achieve the best investment terms or maximise wealth for your next chapter.

Early guidance from specialist advisors and strategic leaders is even more important when there are multiple founders or shareholders, or businesses are transforming to adapt to new client demands or expand into new markets.

Hosted by Amber River Shipman Wealth alongside fractional leadership experts from The CFO Centre and The Marketing Centre, this Chatham House session is designed to help a select group of ambitious founders and CEOs to make strategic decisions for the best investment terms and exit outcome. Join us for practical advice on…

 

  • The new drivers of value creation

  • How to increase profitability

  • How to minimise cost & complexity

  • The real number to aspire to

  • How to prepare for succession

  • How to maximise investment & exit value

 

This is part of Liberti Club’s programme to help business leaders learn and connect with peers, partners and fractional C-suite leaders in Liberti’s national ecosystem.
