Remember to keep an open mind while searching for a business that will match your needs, skills, talents and lifestyle.

The success of a small business involves multiple factors.  One issue that is undeniable is that start-ups are, historically,  difficult to guarantee short-to-near term success.  It is estimated that 80% to 90% of new ventures fail in the first few years of opening.

Because of this, savvy investors, and those such as yourself, who want to go into business search for an established enterprise.

The following are some common topics and questions frequently brought up by buyers. If you have any questions that are not covered below, please contact us.
Reasons to Buy an Established Business
  • An established reputation within the industry and the community
  • Repeat customers
  • Immediate cash flow upon entrance of the business
  • Transitional training by an owner who has successfully operated the business.
  • Job security
  • Trained and skilled personnel
  • Established credit with vendors and suppliers
  • Current occupational licensing in place
  • Cost and time reduction in legal and professional assistance
  • Cost savings for printing forms, documents, and business stationary.
  • Reduction in cost and time to develop advertising and marketing
  • Assurance that the business actually has a place in the market, as opposed to assuming that a "start-up brainstorm" will be readily received by multitudes of customers.
