Small Business Breakthroughs

with Ohio Business Brokers Association

Thursday, September 24, 2026 11:30AM - 12:30PM

Virtual, No cost to attend, registration required

Join the Ohio Small Business Development Center at Columbus State Community College for a podcast-style discussion designed to dig into the topics that are impacting your business and keeping you up at night.

Buying or selling a small business can be one of the most important financial decisions an entrepreneur will ever make. Whether you're considering acquiring an existing business, thinking about selling your company someday, or simply wondering what your business is really worth, understanding the process can help you make better decisions.

Join us on September 24 at 11:30 a.m. for a live recording of Small Business Breakthroughs featuring Emmet Apolinario, President of the Ohio Business Brokers Association, for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about what business owners and entrepreneurs need to know about buying, selling, valuing, and preparing a business for transition.

This conversation will go beyond the headlines and focus on real-world considerations for entrepreneurs navigating business acquisitions and ownership transitions.

Emmet Will Discuss:

Buying a Business
What Makes a Business Valuable
Preparing to Sell
The Acquisition Process
Due Diligence
Financing an Acquisition
Common Mistakes
Exit Planning
Working With a Business Broker
Building a Stronger Business

This live recording will connect Emmet's decades of real-world experience with practical SBDC resources, giving you actionable insights you can use whether you're thinking about buying a business, preparing to sell one, or simply building a more valuable company.

You don't have to be ready to buy or sell a business today to benefit from understanding what makes a successful transition. The best time to start planning is before you need to.

Space is limited. Register today to reserve your spot.

We look forward to having you join us!
