Conversation with Associated Bank’s John Kvamme, from Smart Business Dealmakers Conference

From the Smart Business Dealmakers Conference, Associated Bank’s John Kvamme and host Dustin Klein discuss the discovery, preparation and exit phases of a sale transaction. They also delve into how sellers can maximize their understanding of these phases to achieve a successful transaction.

A common mistake business owners will make when planning for their future is failing to prepare for the sale of their company — typically the largest financial asset in their portfolio. John Kvamme, senior vice president of wealth management at Associated Bank, notes that you can’t start planning for this early enough. He shares successful steps entrepreneurs can take to get started and strategies to enhance and maximize value in a business before the sale.
