John H. Brown
John H. Brown is the president of Business Enterprise Institute, Inc., the only single source of
education,
marketing support, and plan design for advisors of business owners.
BEI teaches professionals in a variety of disciplines (accounting, law, business consulting, valuation, banking,
insurance and financial planning) how to use Exit Planning to attract and keep high-caliber business owners in their
practices. Brown is also a founder of the Denver law firm of Minor & Brown, P.C. Brown began his practice as an estate
planner, but over the last 30 years he has represented hundreds of business owners as they work to orchestrate
successful exits from their companies. As president of BEI, Brown has taught thousands of advisors how to solve
their clients' most pressing problem: how to exit their companies in style.
Brown is the author of two books and numerous articles in the areas of estate and exit planning. His first book was
published by the American Management Association in 1990 and focused on:
- Creating and preserving business wealth;
- Transferring business value to others profitably; and
- Integrating business ownership with personal financial, tax and estate planning objectives.
Its sequel,
The Completely Revised How To Run Your Business So You Can Leave It In Style, expanded on the same themes and
included new chapters on sales to third parties and valuation techniques.
Brown and BEI publish a twice-monthly eNewsletter and maintain a Web site for business owners,
www.exitplanning.com. In addition, BEI maintains
a Web site for its member advisors to keep them abreast of the latest planning issues and marketing techniques
(www.exitplanningforadvisors.com). For several years, Brown
co-authored a column for the Denver Rocky Mountain News and was a columnist for the American Cities Business
Journal. He currently is a featured Exit Planning monthly columnist for
ProducersWeb.com.

"It has enabled me to
differentiate myself from other transactional attorneys, and provide true proactive advice, instead of
merely reacting to a proposed transaction. I find there are few, if any, other professionals in my area
offering this guidance. As a result, client confidence in my services is bolstered, and new, and unplanned
for, work opportunities arise. Exit Planning has been a valuable addition to my legal offerings."
