As the leading fee-only wealth advisory firm in Asia, we understand the challenges faced by our clients who are business owners with a lot on their minds to grow their businesses and may not have had the chance to think through a business exit and succession plan.
In this week’s Money Wisdom episode, our co-host Isaac talks to Jerome Song, Associate Director, Business Exit of Providend, to discuss the most pressing issues for small and medium-sized business owners. Jerome brings listeners through the Value Acceleration Methodology that can be broken down into three gates: Discover, Prepare, and Decide.
Jerome discusses how Benny Se Teo, the founder of Eighteen Chefs, successfully exited his business, emphasising the importance of an accurate business valuation and finding the right buyer to ensure the continuity of the business and the welfare of the employees.
With over two decades of experience in finance, mergers and acquisitions, strategy, and people development, you need not be a business owner to pick up nuggets of wisdom from Jerome in this podcast.
