Free Aug. 31 program at Gibson Education Center to help business owners protect their legacy, strengthen their workforce, and plan for the future
What happens to your business when you’re ready to step away? And how do you keep great employees from walking out the door?
A free BID-hosted financial seminar will tackle both questions during a free seminar for local business owners on Monday, Aug. 31, featuring expert guidance on succession planning and employee retention strategies. Registration details and the Coconut Grove venue will be announced soon.

With more than 25 years of experience, Gilgeours helps business owners preserve the value they’ve built through succession planning, retirement strategies, ownership transitions, and generational wealth planning.
The seminar will also explore practical approaches to attracting and retaining talented employees through competitive benefits and long-term workforce strategies—critical issues facing businesses of every size.
