Buying an Existing Business






Buying a business is a major decision. You want to make the right choice for you and your family – a choice that will meet both your personal/family needs and your financial goals.

You may have come to a place in your life where you want to buy a business, but the idea of buying and owning a business of your own may well seem to be a confusing, complicated proposition.

Perhaps You

Are a downsized or retired corporate executive who has funds to invest and who does not want to retire.
Are tired of working for someone else.
Want to be your own boss and choose your own hours and working conditions.
Want to put your money to work to build a more secure future for yourself and your family.

Statistics have shown that 60% of new business start-ups fail within the first 3 years, but
an established business purchased by a new owner shows a minimal failure rate. The business is already established – all the new owner has to do is nurture it and let it grow!!

An established business has

A proven track record of performance results
Immediate cash flow
Trained employees
Established suppliers and credit lines
Established customers
Training in operating the business from the previous owner
An existing lease

The business is running and ready to go! And it could be ready to go for YOU!
