The opportunities for individuals to buy a business have never been greater. Moreover, in today's worldwide and highly segmented marketplace, even small businesses can often complete effectively and be highly profitable. As a result, more and more individuals are leaving Corporate America to purchase small businesses. But, buying a company for yourself requires patience, persistence and, most of all, an understanding of the process and knowledge of the potential pitfalls. It is certainly not something that you learn in business school or from reading books. To understand the world of buying private companies, you need advice from those with experience in the field. • Is Buying a Business Right for You? • How to Find a Business to Buy • How to Select a Business that is Right for You • How to Choose and Use a Broker • How to Obtain Financing The purchase if a business is an expensive investment that entails high risk. A buyer cannot afford to be under-informed or poorly advised. This seminar will provide you with a deeper understanding of the purchase process. Additional special guests will include representatives from over a dozen Private Equity groups.
