Business Owners’ Next Move: Grow, Sell or Hold?

What does it take to build a successful business, navigate unexpected challenges, and know when it’s time to make the next move? These questions were at the center of Strata Alliance’s panel discussion, “Business Owners’ Next Move: Grow, Sell or Hold?”

Moderated by our Founder & CEO Joe Campolo, the discussion featured Nick Pasquarosa, Founder & CEO of Bookkeeper360; Mark Accomando, Venture Partner and EOS Implementer; and Joe Camberato, Founder & CEO of National Business Capital.

Drawing from their own experiences as business owners, the panelists shared candid stories about building their companies, overcoming unexpected obstacles, and navigating the uncertainties that come with entrepreneurship. Their experiences highlighted the importance of adaptability, strategic decision-making, and learning from challenges along the way.

The conversation also explored how artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses operate, creating new opportunities while requiring owners to adapt to a changing business landscape.

Beyond day-to-day operations, the panel addressed the importance of building long-term business value through organic and inorganic growth, planning for succession, and preparing well in advance of a potential sale. The discussion emphasized the value of understanding a company’s readiness for its next chapter, whether that means continued growth, a transition in leadership, or a sale.

By sharing both the successes and challenges of their entrepreneurial journeys, the panelists offered attendees practical perspectives on making informed decisions and preparing for the opportunities ahead.
