Entrepreneurs Wanted: CBIT Conference Fosters Small Business Connections<\/span><\/h2>\n

Small Communities. Big Opportunities. convenes potential business buyers, sellers on February 12-14<\/span><\/p>\n


SARANAC LAKE, N.Y.<\/span> \u2014 A regional partnership focused on retaining small businesses in northern New<\/span>
York State will convene current business owners and potential buyers for a three-day educational and<\/span>
networking conference. The North Country Center for Businesses in Transition (CBIT) partnership invites<\/span>
aspiring business owners to attend its second<\/span> Small Communities. Big Opportunities: Own a North<\/span>
Country Business<\/span> Conference, which will be held in-person with a virtual option on February 12-14, 2023,<\/span>
in Saranac Lake, N.Y. on the heels of the Adirondack village\u2019s ten-day Winter Carnival.<\/span><\/p>\n


In-person events will take place at Hotel Saranac, where attendees can connect with current and aspiring<\/span>
business owners, business support professionals, and CBIT representatives. The conference will kick off<\/span>
with an opening reception before the Winter Carnival\u2019s closing fireworks show. Registration for in-person<\/span>
and virtual attendance is open at www.northcountryopportunities.com.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cThe conference is designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of participants in a short amount of<\/span>
time,\u201d said Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) Entrepreneurial Economy Program Director<\/span>
Danielle Delaini. \u201cWe\u2019ll cover the whole gamut, from broad topics like what it\u2019s like living in the North<\/span>
Country to practical details like tax considerations, marketing strategies and business valuation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n


Ben Dixon, executive director of the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce and community liaison<\/span>
with CBIT, said the conference offers attendees the chance to learn directly from current owners about<\/span>
what it is like to operate a business in the North Country and connect with a wide range of business<\/span>
ownership opportunities. Participants can meet face-to-face with owners of businesses located<\/span>
throughout the region \u2014 including Nature\u2019s Storehouse in Canton, N.Y.; Done Right Cleaning in St.<\/span>
Lawrence County; Lafave Automotive in Vernon, N.Y., and other businesses including restaurants, shops<\/span>
and service providers.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cAll of the different business support organizations in CBIT work very closely together so that we can<\/span>
connect the entrepreneur who\u2019s looking to take on a new business with various resources in the North <\/span>Country,\u201d said Dixon.
\n<\/span>\u201cWe have a well organized and well established entrepreneurial ecosystem here <\/span>that supports the entrepreneur.
\nAttending the conference will help introduce the entrepreneur to that <\/span>ecosystem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n


Following a successful virtual conference in 2021, this year\u2019s event offers different tracks for aspiring,<\/span>
beginning and more established entrepreneurs, no matter where they are in the ownership process.<\/span>
From individuals who are just starting to explore the idea of owning a business, to people who have<\/span>
already identified a business they would like to purchase, to owners who have recently taken over a<\/span>
business \u2014 attendees will be supported wherever they are in the business ownership process.<\/span>
Participants will have opportunities to meet with retiring owners, learn about available businesses, and<\/span>
learn from experts about key elements of a successful business transition, including marketing, branding,<\/span>
accessing capital and relocating the North Country.<\/span><\/p>\n


Attendees will also hear from guest speakers who have engaged with the CBIT partnership. Sandy Maine,<\/span>
founder of Adirondack Fragrance & Flavor Farm in Parishville, N.Y., recently passed on her successful<\/span>
body products and candle business to her son and daughter-in-law. Cori Deans of Keene, N.Y. will speak<\/span>
about her experience operating a successful fermented food business, Small Town Cultures, which has<\/span>
rapidly outgrown its Lake Placid facility and will soon be moving to a larger space in Plattsburgh. Max<\/span>
Nason, new owner of Happy Camping RV in Vermontville, N.Y., and David Reichel, who will take over an<\/span>
established small business based in Gouverneur, N.Y. next month, will also present.<\/span><\/p>\n


Citing that the average business transition takes three to five years to complete, Delaini said it is<\/span>
remarkable that the CBIT partnership \u2014 which serves 14 counties in northern New York \u2014 supported 37<\/span>
successful business transitions since ANCA established the Center four years ago. She said the 215<\/span>
businesses that accessed CBIT services during this period represent over 1,040 full- and part-time jobs<\/span>
retained in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n


Among them is Adirondack Awards and Promotions, a Lake Placid company that has been providing<\/span>
customized trophies, awards, and engraved and embroidered products for local businesses,<\/span>
organizations and sports teams since 1962. Tyler Merriam and Nick Prechel purchased the business in<\/span>
August 2022 with CBIT\u2019s support.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cFor people who are considering attending the conference, I would strongly encourage them to do so,\u201d<\/span>
said Merriam. \u201cNetworking and connections are critical in the business world. We have received so much<\/span>
support from local business owners, from previous owners and sellers, and people who have gone<\/span>
through this process before. Building those connections and learning from them has been invaluable.<\/span>
\u201cAnd for an entrepreneur who is looking for a place-based business, I would sing the praises of this<\/span>
region hands down,\u201d he added. \u201cThe Adirondack region is simply gorgeous. There\u2019s so much that can be<\/span>
done community-wise, recreation-wise. The opportunities are unlimited.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

CBIT encourages attendees to arrive early for the conference, experience Winter Carnival activities, and<\/span>
explore the Saranac Lake area\u2019s many small businesses, restaurants and shops. During the conference,<\/span>
CBIT will announce travel and tour packages for eligible participants who are interested in owning a<\/span>
North Country business and exploring the region\u2019s scenic, cultural and recreational assets.<\/span>
In November, National Grid awarded ANCA a $100,000 grant to support the conference and other 2023<\/span>
CBIT programs. Additional funding has been provided by Adirondack Foundation; Community Bank;<\/span>
Franklin County Government Office of Economic Development and Tourism; New York State Electric &<\/span>
Gas (NYSEG), an Avangrid Company; and SUNY Canton Small Business Development Center.<\/span>
CBIT was established by ANCA in 2018 with grant funding from the Northern Regional Border<\/span>
Commission to address the loss of area businesses by providing matchmaking services with potential<\/span>
buyers, access to planning tools, and connection with existing services. CBIT services have expanded to<\/span>
provide support for aspiring entrepreneurs who wish to purchase an existing business. CBIT is comprised<\/span>
of 13 community liaisons and partners across ANCA\u2019s 14-county service area, including representatives<\/span>
from the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation, Adirondack Park Agency Economic Services,<\/span>
Essex County Industrial Development Agency, Franklin County Economic Development Corporation,<\/span>
Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce, Hamilton County Economic Development,<\/span>
Lewis County Economic Development, LivingADK, St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, Saranac<\/span>
Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, SUNY Canton Small Business Development Center, Ti-Alliance, and<\/span>

meals, costs $100; participants who sign up by January 20, 2023 receive a discounted early bird rate of<\/span>
