FAMILY businesses that may not know how to react if approached to sell out can find out at a free event next week.

Business Link has set up the event at the National Centre for Deafblindness, Cygnet Road, Hampton on Wednesday September 27 at 6-8pm.

The seminar will consider the scenario where an approach is received from a business or individual looking to buy your company.

Speaker Mark Robson, who has supported many owner-managers facing the possibility of exit as well as working with larger businesses wanting to acquire, will discuss a number of issues including the best way to react and how the process might be played to advantage.

"Is the best negotiating stance 'not for sale', or are there other strategies you might employ?" he will ask "Is it a good sign to have been approached? Should you be flattered or just plain wary?"
