The North Country Center for Businesses in Transition (CBIT) addresses the loss of area businesses by providing matchmaking services between business sellers and potential buyers, access to planning tools, and connection with existing services.
Join North Country Center for Businesses in Transition (CBIT) partnership for this free, virtual working group for current business owners preparing to sell or transition their business to the next generation of owners.
When it comes to selling your business, knowledge is power. One of the key reasons businesses don’t sell is a lack of preparation on the part of the Seller. For most small business owners, selling is uncharted waters. This working group will prepare you to sell your business on your terms. It will also give you information that will be helpful for your Buyer. Understanding the perspective of your Buyer will help you sell your business faster and for more money.
Business owners from across the region are invited to this workshop series hosted by CBIT partners!
