John R. Kaddis, CFP® Participates on Panel for Southeast Entrepreneurship Conference

John R. Kaddis, CFP® was tapped by the Southeast Entrepreneurship Conference to share his experience with helping business owners effectively transition their businesses.

St Petersburg, FL, May 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- John R. Kaddis, CFP® was one of three panelists who spoke recently at the Southeast Entrepreneurship Conference, hosted by the University of Tampa. The panel discussion offered practical advice for current and aspiring entrepreneurs to sell or transition their businesses.

Kaddis' discussion featured suggestions for leveraging financial benefits to attract and retain good team members, protecting the economic impact of key people, developing a succession plan and engaging a team of professionals, including a CPA, certified financial planner, estate planning attorney and exit planner to assist with the transition.

"I meet so many business owners who neglect to put together a comprehensive plan to transition their businesses, whether through its sale, structured buy-out, or having children take it over," said Kaddis. "There are a variety of things an entrepreneur can do to secure their financial future, but it takes a team of advisors to ensure their long-term goals are fulfilled."

Kaddis was joined by Michael Valdez of Exit Transition Planners and Tina Fischer of Your Business Editor. The panel was moderated by Ginger Reichl of Pinstripe Marketing.
