Buyer Guide
What To Look For When Buying
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an acquisition.
01
Financial Performance
Review at least 3 years of tax returns, P&L statements, and balance sheets to understand true profitability.
02
Customer Concentration
Assess how dependent the business is on a small number of clients. Diversified revenue is less risky.
03
Owner Dependency
Understand how reliant the business is on the current owner. The more systems in place, the smoother the transition.
04
Market Position
Evaluate the competitive landscape, market share, and growth potential within the industry.
05
Employee Retention
Strong teams add value. Assess the experience, tenure, and willingness of key employees to stay post-sale.
06
Growth Opportunity
Identify untapped markets, new product lines, or operational improvements that could increase value.
