Description: Join financial expert, Tom Seeko of Florida Veterinary Advisors as he presents this month’s topic!
Practicing as a hospice veterinarian and running a business doesn’t come naturally for most. Your business started from a passion to do good and it quickly turned into a lot more than you can manage. There is so much risk involved with a business and, in the end, you should be rewarded for a job well done. Most people will start a business without a plan on how they want to eventually sell and remove all the stressors of business ownership. During this conversation, we are going to talk about the 4 steps that you can use for your business to build personal wealth while learning how to protect, grow, and eventually sell on your terms.
