SUMMARY:SBC Mergers & Acquisitions Exclusive Deep Dive
DESCRIPTION:Helping business owners prepare\, scale\, and exit is never a one-man show. Try to do it alone and you’ll leave money on the table — or worse\, risk bad terms and messy surprises after the sale. \nThe right team makes all the difference. That means: \n\nM&A specialist or business broker to drive the commercial deal.\nTransaction lawyer who knows how to protect the seller in the fine print.\nAccountants and auditors who not only get the books due diligence ready but also help structure the deal so it makes financial sense.\nTax specialists to untangle UAE and international rules\, depending on the owner’s citizenship and circumstances.\nFinancial planner to help the owner manage and invest the proceeds wisely.\nLife coach or advisor to support the identity shift after exit\, especially if the business has been the owner’s whole life.\nBusiness coach/advisor to help the owner structure\, prepare\, and optimise how the business is run so it becomes an attractive candidate for exit. This can include operations consultants\, HR and leadership advisors\, and financial consultants\nBranding experts- who help with rebrands /Brand refresh\nChange consultants\nOther “connected” professions we may have missed.\n\nFor me\, this isn’t theory. I’ve seen too many business owners work for decades only to walk away with less than they deserved\, simply because they didn’t have the right people around them. My work has always been about helping owners create businesses that give them freedom and the life they want today — and financial security tomorrow when they exit and capture the full value of what they’ve built. Partnering with SBC gives me a way to bring the right mix of professionals together so no owner has to face that moment unprepared. \nWhat drew me to SBC is the caliber of the members and the genuine team-first long view mindset. This isn’t a group that is transaction focused or hides behind empty slogans — it’s a community that collaborates\, shares\, and helps each other win. That’s exactly the environment where this program belongs. \nAnd here’s why it matters: 7 out of 10 owners who try to sell fail. Of the few that do exit\, most do so on the buyer’s terms. Our mission at SBC M&A is simple — build the dream teams that flip those odds. These sessions will bring together the professionals who matter most\, so we can collaborate\, form tight partnerships\, and give business owners the exits (and the lives after) they truly deserve. \nBook Now

SUMMARY:SBC Longevity Leaders - A Room for High Performers Who Want to Stay Ahead

SUMMARY:Referral Pipeline - Take Action workshop
DESCRIPTION:We all talk about wanting more referrals ( or hot leads)\, but what if we could make them happen? \nThis session is different to any other because the intention is to actually make referrals happen for each other. \nTo make this work you attend with a partner. Which means you are willing to refer each other and make it happen.  Ideally\, therefore you and your partner are already at this relationship level. \nTestimonials \n13 Referrals done video \n“Having been through the Pipeline course I now regard it as an essential tool for anyone wishing to grow their business or defy poor economic conditions. Not only is the course logical and concise but it is also innovative and comprehensive in the way it neatly blends the concept of leveraging personal relationships in a highly positive manner with behavioural styles. The results bear witness to the power of Pipeline. In the three months since completing the course I have brought in US$150\,000 worth of leads together with a single Referral Partner. What is particularly satisfying is that this is predominantly business which no amount of advertising or door-knocking would have uncovered. Better yet is that the quality of leads makes doing business this way a pleasure. Pipeline’s emphasis on qualifying referrals and establishing credibility in a structured way builds trust with potential clients in the shortest possible time. This works in both directions; since doing the course I have also done business through Pipeline participants who are able to refer service providers to me. I know that they understand what I need and I know I can trust them. It goes without saying that I now look to increasingly rely upon business sourced through Pipeline techniques. Who would not want to realise substantial additional revenue of better quality and in less time than using traditional sales and marketing methods? My goal is to have 30% of my business generated through Pipeline Referrals within 12 months. In other words new business which otherwise I would never have found will make up nearly a third of next years sales! \nColin Davidson \nRGM Sigma Engineering \n“In total we identified Dhs 93\,000 worth of potential business for me and well over Dhs 100\,000 for my partner\, and that is taking into consideration our closing ratios.  \nI already have Dhs 15\,000 confirmed business (that’s 500% ROI! as my half of the course cost Dhs 2\,999!) from the potential business identified and my partner is working on more… \nIf other business owners realised the true value of this course\, you would have to hold it in a football stadium! \nKeep up the good work! \nKind regards\,” \nCORRINA CROSS \nI just wanted to thank you for a great ‘Referral Pipeline’ workshop last week. It was my first time attending this as part of the Referrals for Life program and I now can’t wait for the next one. \n“I attended with another member of my BNI group who I’ve known for over a year and while we both share the same target market and our service offerings have clear synergies\, we were struggling to focus on a strategy to identify opportunities where we could refer business and potentially even work together. The Referral Pipeline and your facilitation provided us with the tools\, direction and focus we needed and as a result I ended the day with 5 new business opportunities that we are now working towards closing\, with a potential value of approximately AED750\,000p/a and another 28 in the pipeline. \nIt really is a powerful session and it has motivated us to plan two further sessions to stratergise on other opportunities. \nThanks and Warm Regards” \nAnnette Fernandes\nClient Services Director \nBook Now
