WHERE TO START IN YOUR BUSINESS BUYING JOURNEY?

There has never been a better time to buy a business in our opinion, however it is worth asking yourself a few questions before taking the leap into business ownership. 

 

WHY AM I CONTEMPLATING BUYING A BUSINESS? 

  • Am I tired of working for someone else?   
  • Do I want to be independent, control my destiny?
  • Will this give me more security and satisfaction?
  • Do I want to be more wealthy?
  • Do I want to make better use of my abilities? 

WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS SHOULD I BUY?

  • What sort of business do my skills, education and business experience qualify me to run?
  • Am I a retailer, manufacturer, importer or service provider?
  • Will my family be involved?
  • Is there a particular type of business I've always dreamed of owning?

         If you love your product or service going to work becomes a joy. 

 HOW MUCH MONEY DO I WANT OR NEED TO EARN?

  • What are my current commitments?
  • What level is needed to service borrowings? 

HOW MUCH CAN I AFFORD TO INVEST IN THE BUSINESS?

  • This will be determined by the amount of cash you have available now, and what other assets you can provide as security. 

WHAT LEVEL OF DEBT AM I COMFORTABLE WITH?

  • A good idea is to talk to your bank manager early in the process and determine the level of support you can expect. Some are far more supportive than you may think, especially given the current market situation. 

WHAT IS MY EXIT STRATEGY?

  • You should be mindful of your exit strategy. This is made easier by buying in a popular industry sector, Don't underestimate the importance of this, as you never know when your circumstances will change and you need to sell. 

WHO SHOULD I DEAL WITH?

  • Which brokers can I trust?
  • Which brokers have the experience?
  • Which broker will treat me fairly?
  • Good business brokers will give you information on the business types and industry norm statistics where they are available to help you understand the industry better. 

At Clyth MacLeod Business Sales we have a team that specialise, we will connect you with the right broker to help you find the right business for you.
