SUMMARY:Business Acquisition 101: What First-Time Buyers Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Business Acquisition 101: What First-Time Buyers Need to Know\n \nThinking about buying a business but not sure where to start—or what to watch out for? \n \nThis one-hour seminar is designed for first-time buyers who want a practical\, realistic understanding of how business acquisitions actually work. Participants will learn how to evaluate potential businesses\, understand how deals are structured and financed\, and recognize common risks and red flags before making an offer. \n \nRather than focusing on theory or “get-rich-quick” strategies\, this session emphasizes cash flow\, lender expectations\, and buyer preparedness. Attendees will walk through the full acquisition process—from sourcing opportunities and reviewing financials to due diligence and financing using real-world examples and a lender-informed perspective. \n \nThis session is ideal for aspiring entrepreneurs\, career changers\, and existing business owners considering acquisition as a growth strategy. Participants will leave with a clear roadmap\, practical next steps\, and an understanding of how programs like SSBCI can support capital readiness and financing preparation. \n\n \n\n \nThis project is being supported\, in whole or in part\, by federal award number SSBCI-21031-0044 awarded to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
