On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Jessica Starks, President & CEO of Transworld Business Advisors of Grand Rapids and Lansing. If you’re thinking about selling your small business “you need to feel that this is the right time in your life and what your future looks like,” she says. “Some questions to ask yourself: what comes next? Where are you financially? What is the value of my business? And what does the process (of selling) look like?”

The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.

Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own. 

Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
