Charting Your Course To Success

September 25 – 27
Renaissance Charlotte Suites Hotel, 2800 Coliseum Centre Drive, Charlotte, NC 28217

Let’s face it . . . we’re in a tough industry! To be successful as a Business Broker or an M&A expert, you have to be experienced, professional, and technically proficient. Clients will look to you to navigate through the obstacles that inevitably accompany every deal and you need to be armed with the right tools. Are you prepared?

Our industry is changing. Technology has enabled us to work more quickly and effectively, but can also be overwhelming at times, and even distracting. Those who fail to embrace the new tools of our trade risk getting lost. Furthermore, the economy looks very different today than it did just five or ten years ago. As memories of the Great Recession fade, many business owners are finally ready to pull the trigger and sell their companies. They need help in doing so, and that’s where YOU come in!

With the booming economy, new brokers enter the field every day. Since our industry is largely unlicensed, there are very few barriers to entry for new players. However, the barriers to SUCCESS are huge. Whether you’re a brand new broker or a 20-year veteran, you need to be deliberate about your career to make sure you develop and hone those attributes that will position you to serve your clients and close more deals.

Fortunately, you’re not alone in this journey. The CVBBA provides a platform for you to further your education, stay abreast of critical industry issues, and develop strong, lasting relationships with other brokers and deal professionals. The 2019 CVBBA Conference in Charlotte will help you continue to chart your course to success!

M&A Source Course #446: Working with Tax Returns in an M&A Transaction

September 26, 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose, Monterey Room, 2050 Gateway Place, San Jose, CA 95110

Tax Returns are utilized for businesses of all sizes as a key resource to provide insight into not only the tax matters of a business but also the current and historical operating results of a business. Although there is some similarity between how information is presented in a tax return versus a set of financial statements, there are also significant reporting differences. Further complication is added by the fact that tax returns between different entity types also have differing ways of reporting information.

The ability to read a tax return, locate information and interpret what is presented in a tax return is critical to an intermediary’s knowledge base. This course will cover the tax return for a C-Corporation, S-Corporation and an LLC taxed as a Partnership. The sections and structure of the various tax returns will be reviewed. The requirements for reporting information will be covered as well as how information is presented differently in a tax return versus a financial statement. This course will be a great refresher for some and a new frontier of information for others. Regardless of your years of experience, the information covered will benefit your ability to serve your clients.

NorCal – CABB 250 – Legal Aspects of Business Sales in California

September 28, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose, Monterey/Carmel Room, 2050 Gateway Place, San Jose, CA 95110

This 8-hour course is designed for California business brokers at all experience levels. The purpose of this course is to examine a variety of aspects of small business transactions from a legal perspective and gain a better understanding of the way attorneys view transactions. By having a better understanding of the legal aspects and attorney viewpoints, brokers will be in a position to (a) foresee potential issues before they arise, (b) have more informed conversations with attorneys which may help them save transactions from “death by lawyer”, (c) be able to better represent their clients by identifying and addressing issues that may create unwanted legal liability, (d) preserve and protect their broker fees, and (e) avoid litigation and stay out of court.
