New Masterclass Aims to Revolutionize Small Business Exit Strategies

The Endgame Entrepreneurship™ Masterclass, launched by business transition expert Laurie Barkman, is set to transform how small business owners approach the sale of their companies. With an estimated 4.5 million small businesses facing owner retirement in the next decade, the timing of this online course could not be more pertinent. The masterclass is designed to equip entrepreneurs in the lower middle market with the knowledge and tools needed to increase their enterprise value and execute a successful sale on their own terms.

Barkman, leveraging her extensive background as a former CEO of a $100 million company and her roles as a certified mergers and acquisition advisor, has crafted a curriculum that covers all aspects of business transition. The course includes over 70 lessons, 45 exercises, and 10 tools and assessments, structured into three key sections: personal and financial readiness, measuring and maximizing value, and scale, succession, and exit. This comprehensive approach aims to address the common blind spots in exit planning, a critical yet often overlooked aspect of business education.

What sets this masterclass apart is its emphasis on real-world applications, featuring case studies and insights from various companies. This practical focus is intended to give participants a clearer understanding of the challenges and opportunities they may encounter during the exit process. Additionally, the course offers access to a peer-to-peer online forum, live mentor training, and monthly group coaching sessions for 12 months, enhancing the learning experience.

The launch of The Endgame Entrepreneurship™ Masterclass is a timely intervention in the small business sector, where only 20 percent of businesses that attempt to sell succeed. By providing entrepreneurs with the resources to plan and execute their exits effectively, Barkman's initiative could significantly impact the stability and prosperity of the small business ecosystem.
