How to Buy a Profitable Small Business
Thinking about buying a business but not sure where to start? Already searching for the right opportunity?
Join us for a free lunch and learn with M&A and SBA lending professionals. We’ll walk through how to find, evaluate, finance, and acquire an established business.
What you’ll learn
Find the right opportunity. Where to search for businesses and how to identify one that fits your goals.
Understand the numbers. Evaluate profitability, cash flow, asking prices, and potential red flags.
Finance your purchase. Explore SBA loans, seller financing, and when qualified buyers may purchase with as little as 10% down.
Navigate the deal. Understand due diligence, negotiations, closing, and the transition to ownership.
Connect with other buyers and entrepreneurs over lunch, bring your questions, and leave with a clearer understanding of your next step.
Whether you’re exploring your first purchase or looking for your next acquisition, you’re welcome here.
