Business Plans, Exit Strategies Explored at Builder Symposium

The Custom Builder Symposium in Las Vegas will feature strategic business advice from top business pros from around the country.

Business pros, including in-demand CPA Jim Weber, founding partner of Weber-O’Brien Ltd., will be providing strategic business advice at the 2006 Custom Builder Symposium in Las Vegas.

Weber, who has worked with hundreds of builders over several years on strategic business issues and challenges entrepreneurs to expect more from themselves, their advisers and employees, will discuss how “It Takes a Plan” to build a successful business and exit strategy. His presentation will touch on successful business basics — from foundation systems, policies and procedures to future strategies, including succession planning.

The Custom Builder Symposium will be held Oct. 27-29 at the Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Resort.

Other educational sessions at the symposium will address such hot home builder topics such as:

  • Options for structuring your contracts
  • Outdoor “rooms”
  • Top technology trends
  • Marketing to multicultural customers
