The problem it solves
Many entrepreneurs do not know how to effectively prepare their businesses for sale, which can result in lower valuations and missed opportunities. These workshops would provide essential knowledge and resources.
How it makes money
Workshop fees charged per participant or subscription-based access to a series of workshops and materials.
Skills you need
Understanding of business valuation, experience in business sales processes, and strong presentation and facilitation skills.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of online business valuation tools like BizBuySell allows entrepreneurs to assess their company's worth accurately and quickly. A first-revenue move could involve partnering with local chambers of commerce to offer workshops, tapping into their networks and providing value to their members. A potential risk is the upfront capital required to develop comprehensive workshop materials and secure a venue, which could impact cash flow before generating revenue.
