LEWISTON – The Lewiston-Auburn SCORE chapter will present “Buying & Valuing a Business – A Seminar for Buyers” on April 30 from 1-4 p.m. at the Androscoggin Chamber of Commerce Community Room, 415 Lisbon St.

Glen Cooper, president of Maine Business Brokers in Portland, will conduct the seminar, which will cover aspects of buying a business by exploring seven areas: essentials required to buy a business; ways to finance a business purchase; how to search for a business for sale; areas that should be probed while investigating a business; questions to ask before buying a business; concepts of valuing a going business; and valuation rules of thumb and where they come from.
