Join us for an exclusive evening of honest conversation, fresh insight, and shared experience, as Evelyn Partners previews The Next Exit, our latest national research exploring the emotional and strategic realities of selling a business in the UK.
Built on conversations with over 100 founders, the research uncovers what entrepreneurs wish they’d known, what they underestimated, and what helped them achieve the outcomes they wanted, both financially and personally.
On the night, you’ll hear directly from a panel of entrepreneurs who have each built and exited their own businesses. They’ll share lessons, surprises, and strategies you won’t find in the headlines.
Whether you’re actively planning an exit, quietly exploring your options, or just curious about what the future might hold, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded peers and hear what others have learned from their journey.
