The Importance of Transparency

• The team: – Describe the management skills and experience and why they can execute the business plan.

– Best practice for achieving transparency requires that you have the correct advisors i.e., Attorney’s, Accountants and Investment Bankers.

– Consider forming Boards of Directors and Advisors.

Don’t Mess with the Crowd!Especially when they are your neighbors

• On going communications with Stakeholders– Look at best of breed to see examples of transparency.

– Discuss key metrics good or bad.

– The crowd is efficient be careful not to under estimate its power.

– Never forget that you are selling a portion of your business.

– Good Luck!
