The Legacy Business Transition Program, a collaboration between Frostburg State University and Western Maryland Small Business Development Center, was designed as a resource for those looking to sell their businesses due to retirement or for other reasons. The goal of the program is to keep local businesses open and ongoing to provide direct employment and continue to offer goods and services to local communities. The program is free and will assist sellers with generating a business analysis of valuation and selling price, creating a confidential marketing package, listing service and introducing businesses to potential buyers. Buyer services include assisting with due diligence, structuring letters of intent and purchase agreements, financial qualification and post-purchase support. Interested parties can contact Mark Prave at 888-237-9007, ext. 8 or mjprave@frostburg.edu, or visit www.frostburg.edu/legacybusiness for more information.
We just received information about a new report from Outdoorsy looking at the long-term capacity for remote work across the United States. This appears timely in light of the current pandemic, especially as Garrett County is an excellent remote work location. The report found that just over one third of all U.S. jobs could be carried out remotely and ranked states according to the percentage of workers in remote-friendly jobs. In Maryland, 39.6% of all wage and salary workers have a remote-friendly job, defined for the purposes of this analysis as being a job that can be performed entirely remotely. Out of all U.S. states, Maryland has the 2nd highest percentage of workers in remote-friendly jobs.
