Free Small Business Academy Workshop

Business anxiety killing your workflow?

Protect your love for the work from the weight of the work.


  • What happens if something goes wrong? 
  • Will I be able to retire? 
  • And what happens to my business when I’m ready to step away?
  • Family Business Succession/Non-Family Business Succession
  • How to hire and use fractional executives when you can't afford full-time help.

Protect What You’ve Built

What happens to your business, income, and family if the unexpected happens? We’ll explore insurance and risk-management strategies designed to protect the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

Build Wealth Beyond Your Business

My retirement plan is my business. When will I be able to retire? Am I going to have enough to retire? What if I can't sell my business? Most business owners aren't good at planning for and making their personal and business goals fit together. Learn strategies that help you keep your plans in alignment and achieveable.

Plan Your Exit Before You’re Ready to Leave

According to the Small Business Administration, only 30% of family owned businesses successfully transition from the first to second generation. And only 12% survive to the third generation.

Learn about the three most common reasons they fail, and how to make sure it doesn't happen to your business.

Free Small Business Academy Workshop

Your business may be your biggest asset, but it shouldn’t be your only plan.
This workshop will help you think beyond the day-to-day demands of running your business and focus on the questions that matter for your future: What happens if something goes wrong? Will I be able to retire? And what happens to my business when I’m ready to step away?

You’ve spent years building your business. But have you taken the time to protect what you’ve built, and plan for what comes next?

Join us for a practical conversation about the financial decisions every business owner needs to consider, from protecting your business and preparing for retirement to creating a succession plan.

Time: 8:00 - 9:00 am or 12:00 - 1:00 pm

Location: FVTC’s DJ Bordini Center, located at 5 N Systems Drive, Appleton, WI 54914
