RJD Excelsior’s From Employee to Owner: The Mechanics of Buying a Business
October 20, 2026 • Tuesday, 6:00 pm - Tuesday, 8:30 pm
Are you ready to transition from working in the markets to owning a stake in them? This session is designed for professionals looking to step out of the employee mindset and into the role of a business owner. While there are several paths to entrepreneurship—including starting from scratch or utilizing a franchise system—this specific session will focus heavily on the strategic process of buying an existing business. We will break down the essential pillars of acquisition entrepreneurship, including Valuation & Finances, Operations & Logistics, The Acquisition Process, and Personnel.
RJD’s Excelsior Committee provides opportunities to network with like‑minded Russian‑speaking Jewish professionals, learn more about industry‑related Chicago happenings, and join business leaders who come together to make a difference.
Light refreshments included.
