Buying a Business

Buying a business is huge decision. Many people in your shoes are utilizing finances from their home equity, 401k, savings, or personal credit which only increases the stakes to find the perfect fit. Being prepared when evaluating opportunities puts you at an advantage as there are so many unknowns and questions you need to answer.

When buying a business, one of the most important things you can have in hand is a list of questions that reveal the nitty-gritty details of the business you hope to acquire. This list may become your almighty due diligence checklist, aka your ultimate guide to finding both the obvious things to look for, as well as the hidden details on a business you are looking to take over.

Not every deal is the right one or the same one, even if the finances and traffic look great on paper. You need to dig a little deeper beyond the polish and ask the right questions to make your due diligence worthwhile.
