September 2, 2026, 10-11 am | Beyond the Startup: New Paths to Business Ownership

Join us for the Asheville Entrepreneurship Week event Beyond the Startup: New Paths to Business Ownership on September 2, 10-11 am at Hatch Coworking in Asheville, NC.

What if the next business you own is one that already exists? Join Mountain BizWorks, NCEOC, and The Industrial Commons for a conversation about entrepreneurship through acquisition, business ownership transitions, employee ownership, cooperatives, and other ways to keep local businesses locally owned. Explore new pathways to buying, selling, and transitioning a business—and what it takes to make these models work.
