December 10, 2020 – 11:00 am to Noon (Mountain Time)
In our last #StartupRetool session, we will hear from two perspectives, an investment banker and an entrepreneur, about when is it time to sell a business. There are many reasons why you might sell your business, but just because you decided you want to sell the business doesn’t always mean there is an opportunity to sell it. We hear there are market conditions needed to be in place in order to sell a business. Is the biz even worth selling or better off just closing down? What is the mindset you need to have in order to make a successful acquisition? How does it feel as a founder to let go and transfer the thing they created? How did they know it was time?
We will hear both an investment banker who helps sell businesses to investors and a startup entrepreneur who has sold their small business in New Mexico. Tips, strategies, and real stories will be presented to help guide local small businesses considering this process if the opportunity arises.
