Wabash County, IN – Grow Wabash County, in partnership with the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center (NIIC), is excited to be hosting Della Kirkman, CPA, owner of Shift-N-Gears, for an upcoming “Buying or Selling a Business” lunch and learn event.

This educational event will feature Kirkman who will talk about how to strategize buying a business from the ground up, including discussions on the pros and cons for buying a business over launching a start-up and how to find the funding and necessary resources to actually buy a business.
