How to Buy a Business
Wednesday, May 5th
10:00 – 11:30 AM
Cost: $39
Starting a business from scratch isn’t the only path to entrepreneurship! Did you know a rapidly growing trend is entrepreneurship through acquisition? It’s also an alternative way to grow an existing business. Buying a business can be far less risky and easier to finance than starting one. This program will provide entrepreneurs with guidance to search, assess value, finance, and execute a business acquisition. This session will include an attorney and franchise broker who will discuss their roles in business acquisition.
