Will the business generate income to pay the debt and leave you enough to make a living?

If not, the business may still be a good takeover candidate.

The question is.
Why not buy a business? When you buy an operating business you have the luxury that you are starting with a proven concept that has vendors in place with customers that already patronizing the business and most of all you have immediate cash flow. Yes, the most compeling reason to buy a business is that you have instant cash flow.

Sometimes it may not be as great as you would like it,
however when you buy a business the price you pay for the business is reflected in the amount of the cash flow that is being generated by the business. Buying a business allows you the opportunity to take a successful and proven concept and grow it with your talents.

One statement that has always been said
when someone buys a business is that we can guarantee them that one of two things is going to happen after they purchase the business. "It is either going to do better or worse". Why do we say that? Because depending on your talents and how much time and attention you devote to the business will be reflected in the future success of the business. You can start a business from scratch and be very successful, but you will more than likely do without the cash flow that comes with an existing business, which sometimes is the make or break point in whether the business is successful or not. Remember"cash is king" and you must generate cash flow to survive.

So consider all aspects of getting into business. Start a business or buy a business and you will see that predominately that the long term success is on the buying of an operating business that the new owner can build on using their talents and strengths.
