Buying a Business






There are 2 types of businesses available for purchase:

Existing Businesses

Existing businesses which are already in operation. These can be either independently owned businesses or existing franchise locations

New Franchises

Each of these business types has vastly different qualities and requirements, both financial and personal. Meeting with and honestly discussing your needs, skills, financial resources, and interests with an Associate Equity Business Sales & Acquisitions business broker can help you determine which type of business best suits your needs.


Buy an Existing Business
Buy a Franchise
For many people, no matter how much they would like to own a business, the thought of starting a new business is overwhelming.

Common Questions

• How much money will it take to get started?

• What are the hidden costs going to be?

• Will I have enough cash to make it through that difficult start-up period?

• Can this business really be a success?
• How can I tell people about my new business?

• Will I need to advertise?

There IS a solution to this dilemma!

Buy an existing business!
For people who want to start up and own a business but who don’t want to “go it alone” for one reason or another, an excellent option is to buy a new franchise.

The franchise corporate office helps buyers through each phase of the buying, training, and start-up process.

Franchise Purchasers Receive

• Training

• Materials

• Support

• Often even start-up loans from the franchise company.

Purchasers have some idea of what the business will earn the first year and subsequent years after that based on numerous other start-ups by the chosen franchise.

You are in business for yourself but not by yourself!
