John H. Brown J.D.

For over 30 years, attorney and author JOHN H. BROWN has skillfully guided hundreds of business owners through the most important financial (and emotional) transaction of their lives: the exit from their companies. He first described the planning process that he created in his seminal work on exit planning, How to Run Your Business So You Can Leave It In Style. The overwhelming response to John’s book from both owners and their advisors (CPAs, attorneys and financial planning professionals) launched John as a public speaker, thought leader and highly€sought-after expert in the fields of exit and succession planning. After releasing a revised version of How to Run Your Business and writing a second book, Cash Out Move On: Get Top Dollar—and More—Selling Your Business, John founded Business Enterprise Institute (BEI). BEI has quickly become the preeminent exit planning resource for owners and advisors across the United States and Canada.
