Event Details

It’s a great time to be young and in business.  In the coming years millions of baby boomer business owners will be looking to transfer this asset to the next generation or to sell it to an enterprising twenty/thirty-something willing to take a risk and become a business owner.

Unfortunately, buying a business is not an easy undertaking as there is a whole host of complex issues and challenges that need to be addressed in buying a business. To start you on the way, Jeff Fialky and Michael Vann will be providing a primer on what the next generation of business owners will need to know about buying a business.  Topics will include:

·      Do you really want to own a business

·      Terminology you need to know

·      Determining value

·      Why price doesn’t necessarily matter

·      Legal entities and the tax man

·      Bank financing realities

·      How to get creative when you don’t have any money

·      Employment Agreements, Consulting Contracts and other legal documents

·      How to get the deal to close 

This informative discussion will be held at Chicopee’s famous Hu Ke Lau Restaurant and Supper Club on Thursday, September 22nd.  Cocktails and complimentary buffet begin at 5:30 and the 45 minute presentation begins at 6.  Stay afterwards for networking with other future business owners.
