Business Transition Council
Dedicated to transforming ourselves through continued learning.
Serving our community
The Business Transition Council of Tampa, Inc. is a professional organization founded in 2008 by a group of professionals with a common goal of learning, teaching, and facilitating privately held business (small business) success. The group, at its core, recognizes that the entrepreneurial spirit of America needs constant care to thrive in the future.
Transitioning entrepreneurs into being the business owners of existing and successful businesses is critical to our country and its position in the world markets.
This organization and its site are dedicated to that goal.
How We Serve
Business Transition Council serves two very closely tied segments – privately held (small business owners) and the trusted advisors who serve them. Dan Maloney and Michael C. Valdez Co-Founded (2008) BTC as a learning organization to help the trusted advisor develop better skills in helping their privately held (small business owner) clients with business transition, succession, and exit.
To business owners, BTC is a resource with compelling value propositions to be the “go-to” organization where entrepreneurs obtain valuable information and learn to configure the mix of professional services they may need to maximize opportunities for business transition, succession, and exit.
