So You Want To Buy A Business…
This seminar will be a practical session designed to help entrepreneurs who have decided it’s finally time to own a business.  We will focus on concrete steps that you can take to ensure your entrepreneurial dream does not become a nightmare.  Specifically, we will help you to determine what to buy (stock or assets), how much to pay, and identify specific things about the business that you should investigate.
  • Elementary principles of investment analysis (risk, return, and why cash flow matters)
  • Why it’s important to evaluate the business as an investment (not as a job or a hobby)
  • Key questions that need to be asked and answered (by business owner and/or key employees)
  • Documents you should review (or have professionally reviewed) before agreeing on a price
  • Common deal structures (asset sales, stock sales) and how each could impact the deal price
  • Basic Due Diligence:  simple steps you can take to protect yourself from unscrupulous sellers.
