Buying or Selling a Business Part 2

Understanding Valuation and Financial Aspects of Buying or Selling A Business

Buyers and sellers will both want to understand why a business is valued and priced at a certain level. This program will detail that valuation process but will go beyond price to discuss the need for working capital, deal structure components and options, and the mechanics of financing the purchase.

Transactions are completed when both buyer and seller come to the table with a shared vision. By studying these essential elements of a business sale, all parties to the transaction will be better prepared to tackle the complex process of buying or selling a business.

Please note this is Part 2 of a 2 Part series.

This webinar will be held through Zoom. You will receive a reminder email and login information prior to the session.
