Event description
Acquisition: A Pathway to New England Small Business Ownership for Veterans
March 26 | 1:00 PM ET | Virtual
Are you a veteran exploring your next mission?
Buying an existing business can be a structured, strategic way to step into leadership, preserve local jobs, and build long-term roots in New England’s small towns and regional economies.
Across our region, many established business owners are nearing retirement. Without successor-owners, Main Street businesses close, jobs disappear, and communities lose vital anchors.
This session is designed for veterans interested in ownership opportunities in small and mid-sized New England communities.
This session will cover:
• What rural market acquisitions typically look like
• Common business types available in New England
• Typical deal sizes and valuation ranges in small markets
• SBA financing options relevant to veterans
• Risks specific to rural ownership, including workforce and customer concentration
