I appreciated the opportunity to address the group. You can find a link to my handouts below if you are interested.</p>

<p>In addition, Mark Winger, CFA, CPA/ABV, ASA of Gordon Brothers-AccuVal, who invited me to speak, was nice enough to record a short video.</p>

<p>I was grateful to receive emails from a few of the attendees:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Thank you for your interesting presentation to the North Texas EPI Chapter last Friday morning.  I have found that many clients don’t know what their financial needs will be post exit and so don’t have a grasp on where the value of their company needs to be.  This was good information, and I enjoyed the humor that was interjected as well. – Betty Schnaufer, CMAI</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Chris, </span><span class="s1">Sorry I didn’t get to shake your hand – your presentation was not only packed with great content, it was extremely entertaining. – Patrick K. Doyle</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="p1">I always enjoy speaking to different groups around the country on business valuation and ownership transition issues. Check out the &#8220;<a href="https://chrismercer.net/speaking/">Speaking</a>&#8221; menu item for more information.</p>
<p class="p1">Be well,</p>
<p class="p1">Chris</p>

<p>Valuation is important for business owners for many reasons.  One of these reasons is for the operation of buy-sell agreements.  If you are thinking about your buy-sell agreement (and you should be), then take a look at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Buy-Sell-Agreements-Boomer-Business-Transition-ebook/dp/B00BYHU3QE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493413823&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=baby+boomer+business+owners">Buy-Sell Agreements for Baby Boomer Business Owner</a>s, my Kindle book on the topic.</p>
<p>I’ve priced it at $2.99 so you won’t have to think about the expense.  So click on the image of the book.  You will be taken to Amazon.  Then buy the book.  Don&#8217;t be mislead by the price.  It is a full length book.  If you like it, as most readers have, please take a few minutes and review the book on Amazon!</p>
<p>Additionally, my two most recent books are available in an <a href="https://chrismercer.net/store/ownership-transition-bundle/" target="_blank">Ownership Transition Bundle</a>.  The bundle, priced at $35 plus s/h, has been attractive for many business owners, appraisers, and attorneys.</p>
