There is often a compelling argument for buying your competitor’s business.  But the process is fraught with pitfalls – and often the biggest challenge is funding the acquisition.  How do you make this work – and how do you understand early if it is unlikely to work, thus avoiding wastage of time, energy and money?  If growth by acquisition is potentially on your radar, this Business Owners Forum event will be worthwhile to attend.

We have assembled a quality panel to discuss this challenge.  We are confident that you will walk away from this event with some additional insight to these issues.

This Business Owners Forum event will be held at the BNZ Partners facility on Constellation Drive, North Harbour at 5:30pm for a 5:40pm start on Thursday 20 August – and will run through to 7:00pm.

As always for Business Owners Forum events, this session will be free of charge and completely free of sales pitches from the supporters or the panellists. And there will be pizza, beer and wine to lubricate quality discussion.

Business Owners Forums are held monthly – alternating between Whangarei, Albany and Newmarket venues. Although no two Business Owners Forum events are the same, this event will be more or less repeated in Newmarket on Wednesday 16 September.

Most business owners are at least partially motivated by the idea of building a valuable asset which they can one day sell when they’re ready to exit.  But what is your business worth?  And perhaps more importantly, what are the drivers of the value of your business that you may be able to maximise over time?  If you ever ponder these questions, this Business Owners Forum event will be worthwhile to attend.
