Interested in buying a business but don't know where to start? How do you evaluate it, make an offer, fund the purchase, or even start the process to all of this?
Jessica Starks from Transworld Business Advisors is coming to answer these questions. Come learn about business and what it takes to buy an exisiting business.
Jessica Starks is an Exit Strategist and Owner of Transworld Business Advisors and Exit Factor of Grand Rapids and Lansing. Transworld Business Advisors is the world leader in the confidential marketing and sales of businesses and franchises. Exit Factor helps businesses prepare for their sale by increasing profitability, time and freedom, making their business worth more when they are ready to sell, while enjoying the benefits now.

Jessica received her Bachelor’s degree from Grand Valley State University in Business Administration with an emphasis in Accounting and Finance. Before starting her own business, Jessica gained experience at a public accounting firm, sales with a payroll company, followed by 10 years in business banking. As her banking career advanced, Jessica was financing buyers acquiring businesses.
Realizing that there was a need in the market, Jessica wanted to help business owners exit their business. She found that baby boomers did not know where to turn when wanting to retire. Although she thought of mostly baby boomers, she realized that other business owners needed to exit their business as well. They have built something great, reinvested a lot of their money back into the business and care about their customers and employees. Jessica wanted to give them an outlet to transition what they have worked so hard to create while leaving a legacy.
Jessica is married to Brad and they have two sons, Carter and Grant. You are likely to find them boating, at a football stadium or basketball court.
