ACC Learning 2026 - Maximizing the Value of Your Business - Strategic Exit Planning for Business Owners

March 27, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM (CDT)

Description

Most business owners spend decades building their company but less than two years planning their exit. With 70–80% of businesses failing to sell, the difference between a successful "harvest" and a missed opportunity is preparation. 

Join us for an exclusive seminar tailored for members of the Asian Chamber of Commerce, led by one of the industry's most decorated experts.

Meet Your Expert Speaker: 

Austin Zhao
Former Chairman, Asian Chamber of Commerce
Partner & VP, Transworld Business Advisors 

Austin Zhao combines his leadership with elite global credentials to help owners navigate the most significant financial transaction of their lives. 

  • Valuation Expertise: Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA) & Business Certified Appraiser (BCA).
  • Transaction Mastery: M&A Master Intermediary (M&AMI), Certified M&A professional (CM&AP) & Certified Business Intermediary (CBI). 
  • Industry Leadership: Current Board Member of IBBA (International Business Brokers Association) and Board of Advisors Member of ISBA (International Society of Business Appraisers). 

Seminar Highlights 

  • The Valuation Gap: Learn how buyers use Multiples and SDE/EBITDA to price your business.
  • 5 Key Value Drivers: Strategies to clean financials and reduce owner dependency.
  • Timing the Market: Why the best time to plan is 3+ years before you sell.
  • Common Pitfalls: How "tax minimization" today can destroy your valuation tomorrow. 

"You don't build a business just to own it. You build a business to eventually harvest its value."
