From Owner-Dependent to Exit-Ready

Pete Mohr, Simplifying Entrepreneurship

Being exit-ready isn’t about selling tomorrow – it’s about building a business that thrives whether you’re there or not. In this session, Pete shares the strategies every independent retailer should use to reduce owner dependency, boost business value, and create more freedom today. You’ll learn how to:

• Identify the hidden ways your business relies too heavily on you,
• Strengthen the 8 key drivers that increase value and transferability,
• Apply exit-planning thinking as a smart, everyday strategy – not just a final step.

Pete is a retailer, Certified Exit Planner, Kolbe Certified Coach, and business strategist who owns Shoetopia, a pair of independent shoe stores in Ontario.
