BULLETIN BOARD
Albuquerque SCORE presents the workshop, Will Your Business Pay for Your Retirement? by Michael Podolny, founder and president of The Podolny Group Inc., from 9-11 a.m. on Tuesday in the classroom at the Kaplan Real Estate School, 8205 Spain NE. The workshop will provide the owners of smaller- and middle-sized businesses with a means of realistically assessing the value of their business; determining the marketability of their business; quantifying their post-ownership earning power; and developing strategies to improve their final outcome. The workshop will be divided into two parts. The first part will focus on analysis. During this part of the workshop members will be actually doing an analysis of their own business that will allow them to estimate the value of their business; quantify their current post-ownership situation; and determine issues associated with the marketability of their business. The second part will focus on strategies an owner can use to either leverage a good situation to maximum benefit or improve a situation that is less than ideal. The focus will be on the small number of critical strategies that are time tested to help owners get the results they desire. The workshop fee is $19.95. For advance registration or additional information, call 505-248-8232; email peter.mikelson@scorevolunteer.org; or visit www.albuquerque.score.org.
