SUMMARY:Value Builder Business Owner Forum - Group 1
DESCRIPTION:The Value Builder System helps business owners understand what drives the value of their company and how to increase it over time. Offered through the Missouri Small Business Development Center\, this confidential and comprehensive assessment gives you insight into your business from a buyer’s perspective. \nThe process begins with the Value Builder Score questionnaire\, which takes about 15 minutes to complete. Once finished\, you’ll receive an estimated business value\, an overall score out of 100\, and detailed results across eight key drivers of value. These drivers highlight specific strengths and areas for improvement that directly impact how attractive and valuable your business is in the marketplace. \nThe Value Builder System is useful whether you’re planning an exit or simply want to ensure you’re building a strong asset for the future. Improving your score can lead to real financial impact. Research across more than 70\,000 businesses shows that companies with a Value Builder Score of 80 or higher sell for a 71% premium compared to average-scoring businesses. \nAfter completing the assessment\, you can choose how to engage with the system based on your needs and preferred level of support:\nGroup Program (6–8 members): $1\,495/year\n1:1 Program: $4\,495/year \nIf you’re interested in joining a Value Builder cohort\, send us a message!

SUMMARY:Startup Boards 101
DESCRIPTION:Startup Boards 101 is designed for early-stage companies that are beginning to think seriously about forming a board—or have recently done so and want to do it well. As businesses grow\, boards can play an important role in providing guidance\, accountability\, and strategic support. \nThis three-part workshop series helps entrepreneurs and potential board members understand the fundamentals of early-stage boards. Participants explore why boards matter\, the different types of boards (including advisory and fiduciary)\, and how boards should function in practice. The focus is on building healthy\, productive relationships between founders and board members. \nFounders selected for the program will have moved beyond the initial startup phase and be ready to consider how a board can support long-term growth. The series also offers valuable networking opportunities\, connecting founders with potential board members and others interested in serving on early-stage boards. \nAttendance at all three workshops is required. Due to the hands-on format and limited capacity\, space is limited.
