Buy a Business or a Franchise -- SCORE Offers Free How-to Workshop
What does it take to buy a business or a franchise? How do you know which franchises are good or businesses are profitable? What should the savvy buyer avoid? How much should you pay for a business? How can you finance the purchase? What is a fair buy/sell agreement?
Those questions and a lot more will be answered by Joseph Wasilewski, a CPA who specializes in small business acquisitions and divestitures, and Justin M. Klein, a partner in the Red Bank law firm of Marks & Klein, at a FREE workshop, “Buying a Business or a Franchise,” sponsored by SCORE Chapter 36 of Monmouth County Tuesday, November 27, 2007, at the Middletown Library, 55 New Monmouth Road, Middletown, New Jersey, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Wasilewski, served as Chief Financial Officer for several corporations before owning and operating his own CPA firm in 1989. He will offer insights into the legal and financial steps of buying a business or a franchise, including the formal business plan, start up costs, and the not always obvious pit falls.
Klein focuses his practice in the areas of franchise law, commercial litigation, and general business law. Klein was honored as a 2007 Franchise Times Legal Eagle for being one of the top franchise attorneys in North America.
