Building Your Business Through Innovative Financing, Mergers and Acquisitions Online Training Meeting

Benefit from spending an hour with the Principal Financial Group on September 1, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. CST for this vibrant and jammed packed online training meeting on finance and capital for mergers and acquisitions.

Your business is healthy and successful. You’re meeting your payroll, paying your vendors on time and finally working more reasonable hours. But you know your business isn’t everything it can be. There are customers, territories and opportunities that you could develop if only you had the additional resources it would require. But how do you find them?

Every thriving business reaches a point where business as usual just isn’t going to get it to the next level in terms of revenue and profitability. That next step can be a major expansion, an acquisition or a merger, and it often takes the small business owner over her head in terms of complexity and knowledge to a situation where she will require the help of investment advisors and specialists.

This online training meeting will bring some of those advisors and specialists to you as panelists to discuss how to explore such plans, what the alternatives might include, who to turn to for help and where to find the money.
