Why buy a business?
Job Security
Many people decide to buy a business because they are tired of
working for someone else. Buying your own business is like
buying yourself a job—one that you control.
Financial Independence
Studies show that most people don’t live beyond their next paycheck
and that the greatest asset they have is their home. The pressures of
daily life make “getting ahead” a difficult challenge. Owning your
own business allows you to build value for the future
and, hopefully, to become financially independent
through the growing value of your business and the cash flows that come
from your successes. Working for someone else means someone else gets
the rewards. Owning your own business allows you to benefit from your
hard work and efforts.
Pursue the “American Dream”
At one time or another, most of us dream of owning our own business and
living the great American Dream. Perhaps now is the
time for you to live that dream.
Why buy an existing business?
Eighty percent of
all new businesses fail, according to government statistics. The
most common reasons for that failure are under-capitalization, poor
location, poor or no management skills, or low production quality. Buying
an established business helps overcome many of these problems, as
someone else has taken the risk and burden of getting the business
going. A viable ongoing business ensures a proven location and the right
product and demonstrates at least basic management capabilities. An
existing business also gives you immediate cash flow and customers. Why
take the high risk and cost of a startup when you can buy a
proven business?
