Explore Your Retirement Through Succession Planning
BDCC To Sponsor Small Business Succession Planning Workshop
An introduction to business ownership succession planning will be offered on Tuesday, March 6 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Marlboro College Graduate Center, 28 Vernon Street in Brattleboro. Led by Phil Steckler and Tammy Richards of Country Business, Inc. and Don Jamison of the Vermont Employee Ownership Center, this free seminar will cover the four most common ownership exit paths: sale to an outside buyer, to family, to managers, and to the broader group of employees. Joining us for this edition of the seminar for a live story will be Dan Rosenberg, founder and General Manager of Greenfield MA-based Real Pickles, who will describe that company’s sale to employees using the worker cooperative structure. The seminar is open to business owners and key managers and, while it is free, registration is required. For more information and to register, please follow this link: http://bit.ly/2018-succession.
Sponsors of the event are the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation, the Vermont Small Business Development Center, the Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center and the Vermont Employee Ownership Center, with funding provided by the Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development.
