In addition, I have an extensive network in business consulting that includes corporate brokers, bankers, auditors, and professional board members.

Last, but not least, I frequently offer instruction in the areas of buying and selling of companies, startups, and capital funding. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in a presentation on one of these subjects.
