Nearly 30% of businesses bought or sold in the last year with Middle Tennessee Business Brokers included at least one party that was either an immigrant or a minority.
At our special session we will address topics like these:
1. You see a need in your community, maybe you are thinking about starting a business but want don't have the equipment or expertise to do it. Have you thought about buying an existing business? How and where can you find one that will fit your needs?
2. Maybe you have a family member who wants to come to America and is thinking about applying for either the E2 Visa or L1 Visa. How can you find a business that qualifies? How can you negotiate and compete with other investors to be successful?
3. As a business owner, you have worked hard to build your business. You have created something of value, but now you need to sell. What do you do? Who can you trust?
This TIMBG event aims helping minorities and immigrants break the barriers to business ownership and maximizing the value of their businesses when they are ready to sell. Members of the Middle Tennessee Business Brokers team will talk about business buying, selling and investing.
Middle Tennessee Business Brokers has the largest amount of business listings in the Nashville region. Their goal is to sell your business while allowing you to run your business, selling it in the least amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience to you. Using their very large database of potential buyers and state-of-the-art techniques, they discretely help find qualified buyers, negotiate and structure the transaction, manage due diligence and coordinate the closing. When you are buying, They help you hone your objectives, find businesses that may be a good fit, negotiate, help you write and present the offer, and guide you until the deal closes.
