How prioritizing business succession planning for local, minority or family-owned business transitions can help ensure the transfer of generational wealth and community vitality.

What if we told you one of the biggest risks to the Chicagoland regional economy was rapidly approaching and largely unnoticed, but we have the chance to defend against it and help our local businesses as a result?

There are currently 65,348 business owners (aged 55+) in the Chicago-Naperville MSA who are at risk of closure (or significant disruption...) due to lack of business succession planning and owner readiness.

Join us on Friday June 14th from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm, for an intimate lunch and session:

Hear from local business owners and transition experts on the biggest challenges facing small and medium sized business owners in today’s uncertain economy

Learn how community leaders and stakeholders can come together to support this critical economic problem with timely solutions.

Through this community conversation, we aim to discuss a new community preparedness and business retention opportunity for Chicagoland communities with an initiative that will help protect key industry sectors, tax revenue and support businesses at risk.
