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
