On Feb. 27, the Binghamton University School of Management, in partnership with area experts, is offering an all-day seminar on transition planning for closely held businesses. The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Binghamton University Downtown Center at 67 Washington St. in Binghamton.
The seminar will address topics such as the need to plan, an overview of succession and exit-planning options, leadership development, accounting and tax issues, buy-sell agreements and business valuations, a business sale to a third party, and strategies for wealth management, life insurance, and estate planning.
