This workshop is designed to help entrepreneurs wishing to start or buy an existing business. The participants will also have an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a SCORE mentor to discuss their unique situation and network with other small businesses who are facing similar challenges.
In addition, the participants will have a chance to meet with a banker from Wallis Bank who will answer all their questions.
The participants will have a better understanding of the following:
- Learn how to find and evaluate an existing business for sale, and the appropriate financing.
- Why is it for sale?
- Is it profitable and stable?
- Is money available for the investment?
- Can it support the owner and provide return on investment?
