Game Changers LIVE: Know and grow your worth

Every advice business has a value. The challenge is knowing what that value is, and how to make it grow. 

Join us at Game Changers LIVE – an exclusive CPD-accredited afternoon at We The Curious. We’re taking over one of Bristol's most inspiring venues for an afternoon that's designed to make you think differently.

Together with host Chris Larkin joined by CEO Martin Jennings and experts from Pathfinders, Thrings and TaxGem, we'll explore what your business is really worth, what drives its value, and the practical steps you can take to increase it.

Whether you're planning to sell in the next few years, build a business for the long term, bring in new partners, or simply want to create a stronger, more valuable firm, understanding what drives business value has never been more important.

What you'll learn

We'll hear from experts at Pathfinders, independent mergers and acquisitions specialists, Thrings, a Top 100 UK law firm, and TaxGem, chartered tax advisers, bringing practical insight across business growth, legal strategy and tax planning.

Throughout the afternoon we'll explore:

• Your options for the future of your business, whether you're planning years ahead or considering an earlier exit

• The key drivers that influence business value – and the factors that can reduce it

• How to assess where your business stands today using a practical valuation framework

• Legal and tax considerations that every business owner should understand

• The emotional side of stepping away from a business you've built

• Practical actions you can take now to increase the long-term value of your firm

You'll leave with fresh insight, practical tools and a clearer understanding of how to build a stronger, more valuable business.
