At Sunbelt, we are advocates of finding a business that meets your needs and desires while being appropriate for your current situation. You, like every other prospective buyer, have a vision of being your own boss and calling your own shots. A business must fit your vision to be successful.
All too often, new owners jump blindly into a business venture, overwhelmed by the tremendous workload of starting a business from scratch. In fact, a government survey shows that 60% of new business start-ups fail within the first three years. On the other hand, an established business that is purchased by a new owner shows a minimal failure rate.
Here are just a few of the advantages an existing business has over a start-up: | You can review actual operating results, rather than projected results |
| You get immediate cash flow from the ongoing business activities |
| You will have trained employees in place (that can train you!) |
| You will have established suppliers |
| You will have established customers and referral business |
| You will have existing licenses and permits |
| The seller will train you in operating the business |
| In many cases, the seller will provide the financing you need to buy the business |
Additional Things to Consider: | Provable books and records |
