Own A North Country Business Virtual Conference

Small Communities. Big Opportunities: Own a North Country Business is a virtual conference for aspiring entrepreneurs looking to take over a North Country business — empowering those who live here and those who want to live here to realize their dreams of business ownership.

The conference will include several one-hour sessions over the course of four days to accommodate participants’ work schedules.

Participants may choose to attend the entire conference or only the sessions that interest them. There is no-cost to participate.

Attendees will learn from local business owners and regional business support professionals about taking over an existing business, the logistics of accessing capital and insights into relocating to the North Country.

In addition, conference sessions will highlight available business ownership opportunities and connect aspiring entrepreneurs with retiring business owners thru speed networking sessions.
