Your Time is Precious – Don’t Waste it When hen Searching for a Business to Buy

There are several areas where people commonly waste time searching for the right business to buy. Keep two things in mind when buying a business; there are many more buyers in the market than businesses to be sold and the good businesses sell fast. The biggest competition comes from other buyers; therefore, you need to act quickly on a good opportunity.

There are five typical issues that cause people to waste time:

Turning the search into a looking process rather than a buying process -The Internet is the best and the worst thing to ever happen to the business for sale marketplace. The best because of the abundance of businesses listed and the worst because it leads you to click, click, click to look at them all. We’re too quick to move on to what we think can be a more promising deal to digest the information and make an effective inquiry.

Fear of making an inquiry - It doesn’t cost you anything and you’re not going to do anything wrong. You’re just looking for additional information and making inquiries.

Apprehension about making offers due to missing information - For example, maybe you don’t know all the financial details reported by the business, which could affect your offer. On the other hand, you are worried about losing the opportunity. So make the offer with protective clauses to allow you to back out of the deal and be fully protected.

Letting others dictate the rules - Don’t be bullied by brokers; this is your money, your future, and you are the boss; be in control.

Looking for the Perfect Business - You won’t find it; they all have their drawbacks. It’s up to you to select one which your strengths will be a valuable asset to make the undervalued business and valuable business.

Cut down on the search time to be better spent on improving and growing your new business. Focus on the goal and stick to the plan and move forward.

Buying an Existing Business versus Starting up a New Business

Starting a business is a rich man’s game, and buying an existing business is a poor man’s game. Most people would think that the opposite is true.

There are many advantages to buying an existing business rather than starting a new business. Statistics show that 96% of business startups fail within the first five years, with 80% failing with the first 3 years. With the odds of failure being so high that you are going to lose your entire investment of time and money within 5 years or less, that is a rich man’s game. Anyone who can afford this type of loss must be pretty rich.

Buying an existing business with an ongoing infrastructure of a provable business model, one that has been operating for a few years or more and is making a profit sounds like a much better deal. Profits will flow immediately versus a startup where there is no way to predict when you will be showing a profit. A solid customer base is already formed; people are familiar with what you have to offer, so there is no need for start up marketing.

The history of a business is in place and you can review it to determine potential profits for the future. Policies and procedures are in place, employees are trained, and the business is operating. Simply step into the seller’s shoes, add some of your own personal touches, maybe a new product or service, and you’re on your way to making your new business grow and thrive.
