Whether you’re planning for the future or facing an immediate transition, understanding how to successfully exit your business is essential. Ensuring Your Business’ Legacy is a one-on-one, confidential drop-in session designed to help Rhode Island small business owners and RI SBDC clients explore their options for selling, closing, or transferring their business.

During these individualized sessions, our advisors will be available to talk privately with you about topics such as:

• How to prepare your business for sale
• What to consider when passing a business to a family member or partner
• Steps and legal considerations for formally closing a business
• How to evaluate whether it’s the right time to exit
• Resources and next steps tailored to your unique situation

These conversations are completely confidential, judgment-free, and tailored to meet you wherever you are, whether you’re just starting to think about the future or actively figuring out what comes next.
