A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP

Welcome to Innovative Business Networking.

So who and what is Innovative Business Networking? The group was founded a little over a six years ago by a handful of local business owners that needed a change from other business networking organizations in Boston’s North Shore area. What once was a networking group of three has now grown to over twenty members. IBN members are leaders of very diverse businesses. Unlike national networking organizations, IBN strives to be different by focusing on three main objectives:

Referrals

We generate quality, actionable referrals for our members

Education

Our members strive to learn from each other and pass along their knowledge

Community

IBN provides valuable services to multiple community and school groups

    Serve First Solutions

    For more than 25 years I have helped  businesses on Credit Card Processing and  helped save them from the hidden fees most credit card companies charge. Most business owners are frustrated, fed-up, angry and confused because their processing company has kept them in the dark about fees and costs. Unlike processing companies that try to raise your fees at the drop of a hat, I look for ways to reduce your fees. Such as Level 2 and Level 3 data.
    I enter into partnerships with all of my clients. The partnership is that I will always be looking for ways to enhance your merchant services program, keep you up to date with modern technologies and being a phone call away for help.

    Principal - Business Legacy Strategies

    Successful business transitions require a wide range of expertise. The business should be valued. It may be necessary to grow the business before the desired sale price can be achieved. The owner will need financial planning both prior to and after the transition. There will have to be planning done to minimize the tax consequences of the transfer as well as future estate taxes. There are risks of premature death and disability that will require insurance. No one advisor can reasonably be expected to provide the expertise in all these areas. Owners don’t have the expertise, and worse, they don’t know what they don’t know. Successful business owners are likely to be too busy running the business to effectively orchestrate a transition. Business owners need a quarterback to orchestrate a transition.
