Office Hours with Breneman Advisors

20Fathoms is hosting monthly office hours with Brad Repke of Breneman Advisors for Northern Michigan entrepreneurs and small business owners this August, September, and October.

If you’ve got a question you’ve been sitting on: about growth, sales, operations, financing, or where your business is headed next, this is your chance to ask it directly.

Brad has helped clients buy and sell companies across every stage, from early-stage startups to established businesses preparing for a transition. That means he knows what real traction looks like and what it takes to get there, and he’s ready to talk strategy with businesses at any stage, not just those thinking about a sale.

How It Works

  • When: Aug 8, Sept 10, Oct 8
  • Time: 2:30-4:00
  • Session Length: 45 minutes
  • Where: 20Fathoms (in person)

These appointments are first come, first served.

Come with questions like:

  • How do I increase sales or find new customers?
  • What does real traction look like, and how do I know if I have it?
  • What should I prioritize right now to grow this business?
  • How do I know if my business is ready to sell, or when to start planning?
  • I’m thinking about buying a business, where do I start?
  • What do buyers or investors actually look for?

You don’t need a polished pitch or a fully formed questions, just come as you are.

Important Note

If you sign up for a specific month and we’re unable to accommodate you due to demand, we’ll automatically move your registration to the next month’s Office Hours and notify you as soon as possible.
