The pathway to a successful business purchase, sale or merger – separation or a new beginning
9 July 2019, 6pm – 9pm Novotel, Glen Waverley
The pathway to a business purchase, sale or a merger can be a minefield for the uninitiated, with legal, financial, branding and transformation elements all vying for your attention. Missing any of these critical elements can not only derail the transaction – but it can also quickly erode business value.
Spend the evening with our panel of four professionals to dissect the risks and opportunities to enable you to drive greater value.
Covering legal elements such as the value of due diligence, the benefits of trade marks and the ability to transfer and sell them. Also understand how to assess the relative brand strength of the target business and how to commercialise this value. Couple this with the various tax pitfalls, to then round out with a keen understanding of how to successfully complete a business transformation with the integration of the people, systems and processes.
Using Technology to Drive Business Growth
13 August 2019, 6pm – 9pm Novotel, Glen Waverley
Successful businesses use technology to scale up and grow profitably.
If you are planning on growing your business, technology will be a fundamental part of your strategy; but successful implementation requires careful planning.
You have probably either lived through or heard the story of the unsuccessful IT project that not only fails to deliver on its promises, but also burns through serious cash. Such stories are far too common, but your business can avoid becoming another.
In this knowledge-sharing dinner specialists in technology, human resources, grants, and finance will explore the best ways to harness technology for successful and sustainable business growth.
You will find out how you can transform IT from a cost into a profit driver; and at the end of the evening you will have an action plan for how you can use technology to drive your business growth.

About the Knowledge Sharing Dinner Series
Synergy48 Group Knowledge Sharing Dinners are exclusively for S48 Group members and their personally invited clients.
All dinners are held at the Novotel Hotel in Glen Waverley from 6pm – 9pm. Numbers at each dinner are strictly limited to 32 to ensure a quality experience for members and their guests.
Every dinner in the series is based around Four Guiding Principles:
- Singular Focus: Every dinner focuses on exploring a specific business issue which SMEs have consistently identified as a significant concern.
- Multiple perspectives: We bring together four experts from four different industries/professions to provide multiple perspectives on the issue.
- Relevance and Significance: You’ll have the opportunity to explore the issue in depth with each of the experts to determine how it applies to your business.
- Capacity for Action: You’ll leave with a clear and prioritised action plan developed for YOUR business – NOT a generic “To Do” list.

PS Wondering where the name came from?
- Synergy is because by working together we realise the power of synergy 1+1 really does = 3 (or more).
- 48 came from the number of best practice factors or benchmarks we identified as being indicative of a thriving, successful and saleable business. Coincidentally it’s also a Chinese number for prosperity.
