Plan Your Future

Take a minute to write an introduction that is short, sweet, and to the point.

Calling all Brockton business owners!

It's never too early to start planning for the future of your business. What will the succession of your business look like?

Whether you are 1, 5, or 10 years away, part of operating a business successfully is passing it along to the next generation when it's time for you to retire or move on to your next endeavor. Or maybe you would like to lessen the burden of business ownership in the near term and empower your employees by offering them a stake in the business.

Come to this free workshop and learn about options for selling your business to family, employees, or other buyers. We will cover all your options, and give special attention to the option of selling to employees and converting to worker ownership.

Cooperative Entrepreneurship Training

Are you thinking of starting a business?  Curious about how to accomplish this goal with a team instead of going it alone?  Our two-day Cooperative Entrepreneurship Workshop will cover the nuts and bolts of launching a new business, and will include special considerations for worker-owned cooperative businesses.  Our priority in this program is to benefit those who have been directly or indirectly negatively affected by the criminal justice system.  People with a history of involvement are encouraged to register and attend.
