Gert-Jan van Holten, associate partner at Marktlink, said: “Selling a business is often the biggest decision an entrepreneur can make.
“Marktlink was founded by real entrepreneurs so we recognise that and the importance of talking in a language that business owners understand.
“People put their life and soul into building a business but often don’t maximize the true value because they fail to prepare properly for the exit.
“That’s the purpose of the masterclass. We know the North is a hotbed of flourishing businesses and we look forward to meeting some of them and sharing our experiences.”
