The North Essex Business Resource Breakfast is a structured networking event providing each attendee the opportunity to present a brief commercial about their business and interact with members and guests. Each breakfast features a business leader speaking on a topic of interest. Attendees have the opportunity to openly network with one another in a casual and friendly atmosphere.

At this month's presentation:
Kimberly Wedderburn Henderson, Esq. introduces the Business Legacy Blueprint™, a practical framework that helps entrepreneurs protect their business, prepare successors, and preserve the mission and culture that make their enterprise unique.
Participants will learn how to:
- Identify the three pillars of business legacy: assets, people, and values
- Bridge the gap between personal estate planning and business continuity
- Build a simple, effective succession plan — even if they’re not ready to retire
- Protect their business from disruption during emergencies or transitions
- Create a values‑driven roadmap that ensures the business thrives beyond the owner
Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, a family‑run business, or a growing enterprise, this talk will give you the clarity and tools to safeguard what you’ve built and ensure it continues with purpose and stability.
