A one-day conference for Florida owners who want a business worth buying
You are not selling your business.
That is exactly why you need this day.
Most Florida owners learn their business is not sellable on the day they try to sell it.
What is actually at stake
Every one of these comes off your price.
A buyer does not argue about what your business is worth. They hand the diligence list to their lawyer, and the lawyer returns a number lower than yours. Here is where that gap comes from.
- No written agreement between the owners Deal paused
- The brand or the code sits in someone's personal name Held back from the sale
- Your biggest customer's contract does not transfer Revenue discounted
- The lease ends before the buyer's plan does Closing delayed
- Contractors doing the work of employees Money held in escrow
- Books that cannot survive a quality of earnings review Multiple cut
- The business cannot run for a month without you Payout pushed years out
None of it can be fixed once a buyer is already at the table. All of it can be fixed years earlier, which is the entire point of this day.
The buyer's lawyer will find it. You should find it first.
An operating agreement signed years ago. The brand sitting in someone's personal name. A lease that does not transfer. Contracts a customer can walk away from the day you close. None of it matters until somebody makes an offer. Then all of it matters at once, and every item on that list comes out of your price.
This is the day you deal with it while nothing is on the line.
Five tracks
The exit, in the order it actually happens.
One seat per profession for the whole event. Nobody on this agenda is selling what the person next to them is selling.

Founder of SimplyLegal, a flat-fee firm in Miami advising owners and investors on business and real estate. Her practice is built on one idea: get the legal foundation right long before an exit is urgent, so the business can be sold whenever the owner decides, not whenever the paperwork finally allows it.

Before you decide
The questions owners actually ask.
If yours is not here, reply to the email you get after signing up and it will reach a person.
I am not planning to sell my business. Is this still for me?
That is exactly who the day is built for. Almost everything that lowers your price takes months or years to fix, and none of it can be fixed once a buyer is already at the table. The owners who get the most out of this are the ones with no sale in sight.
What does a ticket cost?
Pricing is being set now. Put your email in and you will have it before it goes public, along with the full speaker list.
Is this a day of sales pitches?
Twenty-five speakers, twenty-five different professions, one seat each. Nobody on stage is selling what the person next to them sells, so every talk teaches its own piece of the exit. If you want to hire someone afterward, the exhibit floor is where that conversation happens.
I cannot sit at a screen all day. Can I come for part of it?
Yes. The whole schedule is published above so you can pick the tracks that apply to you and skip the rest. Every session runs thirty minutes.
Do I have to be in Florida?
You are welcome from anywhere, but the day is built around Florida law and Florida deals. The specifics will be Florida specifics.
Sponsors
Backed by the people who do this work.
Exhibitors
Exhibit floor and remaining sponsor tiers for this event are open. One seat per profession, so each category is claimed only once.
