I recently completed the FiMBO programme – a 12-session journey designed to help business owners like me better understand the financial planning to help grow and eventually sell your business.
The FiMBO programme is not only worthwhile but also essential for anyone considering growing or selling their business. If you’re ambitious and envision retiring in the next 10 to 20 years, this programme is incredibly useful. But for those, like me, who are developing an exit plan within the next five years, FiMBO is almost indispensable.
It has equipped me with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex process of ‘Business Exit’ and I could not be more grateful for this transformative experience.
