Join us May 22-23, 2024, for our inaugural New Business Broker Training Conference!

Marty Rueter, expert business broker and GABB Board Member, will be hosting a two-day Introduction to Business Brokerage conference for new (or seasoned) business brokers. In this course, expect to learn:

• Essentials of Business Brokerage
• How to valuate and price different kinds of small businesses
• More effective ways to list, promote, and sell small business opportunities
• How to navigate the “due diligence,” financing, legal, and other business processes in order to have a successful closing

This two-day event will qualify for 10 credit hours with GREC. Unlike our Spring and Fall Conferences, these hours will NOT count towards a BCBB (Board-Certified Business Broker) certification.
