Join us for a coffee talk about small business succession planning. Hear from local businesses about their experience selling or buying their business. Each business transitioned in a different way, but they all share a strong commitment to their communities. This event is best for small business owners and organizations that support small businesses. It is open to all and not limited to Cambridge. Participants will leave inspired to tackle common succession planning challenges and understand why planning ahead is essential for owners, workers, and the community.
