Ken Lain to host online presentation on succession planning

Ken Lain, CEO of Garden Outfitters private equity group and second-generation owner of Watters Garden Center, will be presenting “Don’t Die with Your Business: Why Waiting to Exit Is Your Biggest Risk” at 9 a.m. PST on Dec. 18. This talk aims to address the emotional and financial perils faced by owners who delay succession planning, offering a clear roadmap to secure their business legacy and family wealth.

Lain’s message is direct: Failing to plan is not just an innovative business choice; it’s a massive risk that creates a “fivefold burden of inaction” affecting the community, employees, family and the business’s own value. With his personal story of transition success, not only from his father-in-law but also to his daughter, he shares the cost of inaction and a successful path forward.

Highlights of this 50-minute presentation are how to scale your legacy for prosperity, the actual value of your company, the 30-day test that proves your company’s worth and the KPI that increases value.
