FAQ for Buyers

Why buy a business instead of starting one?

If you buy an established business, you have an income from the day you take over. You already know what can be accomplished by the business.If you start a business, you face a lot of uncertainty over the success and desirability of your product or service. Buying a business takes a lot of the risk out of your decision.


What is the best business to own?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most Buyers want to own a profitable, well-managed business in an industry that holds a personal interest for them. In general, there is no industry that is particularly better than another.


What kind of financing is available?

Seller financing is usually the cheapest and easiest to obtain. It also tells the Buyer that the seller has confidence in the business. There are no loan fees and the interest rate is usually lower than the bank rates, but the term of the loan is often shorter. Banks will loan money on businesses that show a strong earnings history on the tax returns.

In recent years, bank loans, which are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, have become very popular and more readily available.
