Upcoming Events
A number of us have just returned from the IBBA & Murphy Business Sales educational conferences and we have many stories to tell about all of the things we saw, learned, and experienced. Our October 27th meeting will be a discussion panel of (mostly) brokers that have attended these conferences in the past few weeks. We will have some questions prepared for the panelists but will open the floor for questions from the audience. We will be announcing the panelists next week as schedules are confirmed. We will discuss what types of workshops we learned from, networking activities we enjoyed, and possibly how many pounds we all gained from the fabulous food we ate!
Additionally, before the panel is invited to the front of the room, each attendee will introduce themselves to the group. Each non-broker attendee will be given up to 3 minutes to talk about their services and specifically to discuss what types of referrals they are looking for, as well as any interesting updates about their areas of expertise that they feel are important for us all to know keeping them top of mind. Any broker that has a “hard-to-sell” or “troubled” listing that they are willing to co-broke on may spend up to 3 minutes discussing that business. (completely optional) You may also wish to bring your executive summery document for the information table as well.
This will be the last meeting held at Melt this year! No need to register for this particular meeting.

November 17th All Ohio Business Brokers Summit at Der Dutchman in Bellville featuring Steve Mariani of Diamond Financial: Lunch sponsored by Mr. Bob Evans of Blue and Company, CPA's and Advisors!
Warning: Attending this meeting may require bringing out your Thanksgiving pants a week early!
OBBA & NOBBA will be coming together again this year as has been our tradition at the Der Dutchman Restaurant in Bellville OH. I am pleased to announce that IBBA's Affiliate Council Chair, Steve Mariani and Mihir Patel of Diamond Financial will be traveling to see us from North Carolina! The last time we saw Steve was earlier this year when we were all confined to meeting over ZOOM and I am excited that he & Mihir will be able to join us IN PERSON for this combined event.
Our luncheon summit is generously sponsored by Mr. Bob Evans of Blue and Company, CPAs and Advisors. Blue and Co (Blue) celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and has 400 professionals in 10 offices across Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Blue’s services relative to business purchases and sales include business valuations, quality of earnings analysis, buy-side and sell-side due diligence, IT security consulting, tax planning and compliance and assurance services. If controversy arises, Blue also provides litigation support and expert witness services to buyers or sellers.
For those who were not present at any of our former meetings at the Der Dutchman, you are in for a treat. This restaurant is located an hour or so south in between Cleveland and Columbus making it a great spot for our two associations to come together from time to time. The food will be a fantastic homestyle buffet and salad bar with pie that will rival your grandmother’s recipes! More details to come regarding this event. Registration will be handled by OBBA and we will finalize that soon. This will be NOBBA’s only meeting in November.
