THE BUSINESS RISKS YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO IGNORE
Running a business takes time, energy, and commitment – so it’s vital to protect what you’ve built. This practical, story-led session will explore the financial risks that many business owners overlook, from lack of protection to relying too heavily on a future business sale.
We’re happy to be partnering with SELCC Member, Ginkgo Financial, who are a trusted local firm providing tailored advice to individuals and business owners. This panel is designed to be free of jargon and full of insight. You’ll hear real-life examples from Ginkgo’s experienced advisers who work closely with SMEs across South East London and beyond.
What you’ll learn:
- The top three financial blind spots in small businesses - and how to recognise them
- What happens if a key person becomes ill, dies, or leaves unexpectedly
- Why relying on selling your business to fund retirement can be a dangerous strategy
- Simple, practical ways to protect your business, co-founders, and family
- What financial planning looks like when it’s grounded in real business life
This is not a sales pitch - it’s a helpful, human discussion backed by real-world experience. All attendees will receive a free post-event resource pack.
