STEP 1: If you are seriously ready to buy a business, take a personal inventory
of your skills and your knowledge of the potential business you're interested in.
Are you willing to work hard, face up to the competition, manage employees,
and take pride in your work? Decide why you want to own a business...be in
charge of your own future, earn a good living, make an investment in your own
future?
|
STEP 2: Decide, in general terms, on the type of business but keep an open
mind. Most buyers usually purchase a completely different business than
originally intended. Also, consider the business' geographic location if that is
important to you.
|
STEP 3: Know your credit-worthiness and prepare a personal financial
statement. You will need this...
 | | To determine your net worth, your actual resources, and the amount of | | | cash you have to invest. Lenders will also need this information to qualify
you for a loan.
| | | So your broker can pre-qualify you for the businesses you are interested | | | in.
| | | Because the seller will require it before agreeing to sign a note that | | | extends partial owner-financing of the sale.
|
|
STEP 4: Do your homework! View our Listings and develop a list of several
candidates. These businesses should be within the range of your personal
abilities and financial resources and, of course, your financial objectives.
