The Kitsap Business Forum will present “Business Built to Sell” led by Dan Martin of Seattle SCORE at the group’s next meeting.

The forum will be held at the Morgan Stanley office in Silverdale at 2011 Myhre Road, Suite 301, on Tuesday, Feb. 12. The class starts at 7:30 and finishes at 9 a.m.

The discussion at February’s forum will focus on how to structure a business with the intention of selling it for a profit. Martin co-founded a book publishing business with his wife, Nancy, in 1976. He boot-strapped the small start-up out of his garage and grew the company to $10 million in annual sales before selling the company to his employees in 2007. He remains a member of the board of directors and now volunteers for Seattle SCORE.

The Kitsap Business Forum is sponsored by the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, Dave Mitchell, Morgan Stanley and the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce. Panera Bread will provide coffee and bagels at the event.

Anyone interested in attending should RSVP to 360-692-6800, or go online to BusinessBuiltToSell.eventbrite.com.
