This opportunity is ideal for a home-based or small business owner who has training and development capabilities, leadership and management experience. The company provides a non-competing forum to provide professional development and direct referrals for its membership. The goal is to build business relationships, expand networking connections and develop business potential. Membership in the group provides an environment that encourages growth of the entrepreneurial spirit through education, informative speakers, development of presentation skills and networking opportunities. Membership in the organization is industry exclusive and member companies range from sole proprietors to larger corporations. Meetings are held twice a month at local participating restaurants, under established vendor contracts. Dues are paid on an annual basis and the company nets the difference between the membership dues and the cost of restaurant services. There are currently two active chapters in the area with approximately 20 members each. There is no concerted marketing effort to promote the company other than word of mouth and an occasional display in a local newspaper business calendar.

Facilities: Sale of the business includes all intellectual property, training and development programs, current customer base at the time of sale and the company logo and website.

Competition: There are other local "lead groups" in the area, but none that can be considered a true referral network system that provides the ongoing training necessary for success.

Growth/Expansion: There is considerable growth potential available if a new owner were able to develop additional chapters in non-competing regions. There is also a definite possibility of franchising the concept and/or establishing leasing agreements across other geographical areas, including other states.

Financing: The seller may provide some financing for a qualified buyer.

Support/Training: The current owner will stay on for a negotiated transition period for training purposes and will be available for consultation on a fee for service basis thereafter.

Reason Selling: The owner and family are relocating out of state.
