Let’s talk drought support DESCRIPTION:Upcoming webinar\n \nGot farming clients?

Recent Australian Government research shows many farmers still believe support is linked to drought declarations\, meaning they may not be aware of assistance available to them right now. Drought support is always available\, with no declarations required. \nThe research also found farmers expect their trusted advisers to help them navigate available support and connect them with the right information at the right time. \nThis webinar will share key insights from the research\, bust common myths about drought support\, and provide a practical overview of Australian Government assistance available before\, during and after drought. \nYou’ll learn about resources designed specifically for trusted advisers\, helping you confidently discuss drought support with clients\, identify relevant assistance and services\, and guide clients to the information that best meets their needs \nThe Australian Government’s approach to drought focuses on helping farmers and communities prepare for\, manage through and recover from drought\, while providing support during periods of hardship. \nWhether you work with clients preparing for dry conditions\, managing through drought or planning for recovery\, this session will help you better understand Australian Government drought support and have more informed conversations with your farming clients. \nFor more information visit www.drought.gov.au   \nMeet your speakers\n \nHayley Rawsthorne \nDirector (Drought Partnerships – Drought Policy)\, Department of Agriculture\, Fisheries and Forestry \nHayley Rawsthorne is the Director of Drought Partnerships in the Drought Policy Branch at the Australian Government Department of Agriculture\, Fisheries and Forestry.

A company that depends on its owner for revenue\, relationships and decisions is fragile\, and buyers price that risk accordingly. One that runs on systems and a capable team is worth considerably more\, and it sells far more reliably. \nThis session looks at owner dependence as a value and risk issue\, and what it takes to reduce it over time. We work through the practical building blocks\, documented processes\, a second layer of management\, and clean\, transferable customer relationships\, using real examples of businesses before and after they made the shift. \nFor financial advisers\, this matters twice over. It is the lens to apply to a business owner client’s largest asset\, and it is directly relevant to advisers preparing their own practice for eventual transition. Advisers will leave able to recognise owner dependence early and describe\, in plain terms\, what reducing it looks like. \nMeet your speakers\n \nSimon Bedard \nFounder and CEO\, Exit Advisory Group \nSimon Bedard is Founder and CEO of Exit Advisory Group and a leading Australian expert in business succession and exit planning. With more than 25 years’ experience across business\, investments and financial markets\, he helps business owners prepare for and navigate the sale of their businesses. \nSimon is National Chair of the Australian Institute of Business Brokers\, a Registered Business Valuer\, Licensed Business Broker\, MBA graduate and author of Exit Like an Expert: The Ultimate Guide to Selling Your Business. He also hosts the Buy Grow Sell podcast and writes regularly on succession and exit planning. \nHaving started\, acquired and exited businesses himself\, Simon brings practical expertise to one of the most significant financial events in a business owner’s life. He is a recognised advocate for improving business succession outcomes in Australia and believes financial advisers can play a critical role in helping clients maximise business value and successfully transition their wealth beyond the business.
