Top - Business Opportunities - Buying A Business

Everyone has different reasons for choosing business ownership. You may want a change in lifestyle with more personal freedom and unlimited profit potential.  You may plan to turn a small business into a family operation.  You may wish to fully use your knowledge and skills to introduce new products or services through a newly acquired business.  Almost everyone is attracted by the estate building and tax advantages of owning a business. 

Whatever your motivation, you can count on your associate to introduce you or your company to a business that matches your interests, goals and capabilities.  We are part of the CENTURY 21 Commercial Investment Network that is international in scope and provides a qualified buyer access to thousands of business offerings worldwide.  Choose a likely target in your home town or in a place you’ve always wanted to call home. 

Whether you're prepared to invest $50,000 or $50 million, your first question should be, "Why is this business for sale".

Our associates have the answers.  Often the owner's motivation to sell is obvious-he or she may be ready to retire or they are experiencing health problems.  There may be difficulties in a partnership.  Or the business has exceeded the financial and managerial capabilities of the founder.  It might be a divorcee. 

But what if the reasons aren't so apparent?  How can you protect yourself from morning after "surprises"? 

This is where our associate's professional edge can really make a difference in a successful acquisition.  We will make every effort to provide you with pertinent information on the target business's financial performance, staffing, facilities, equipment, inventory, product lines, customers and the markets served.  With this information you can efficiently conduct with your advisors a due diligence review to determine if this business will meet your needs.  However, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the information.  It is your responsibility to examine and verify the accuracy of the information furnished too. 

We can help you arrive at a realistic analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of a business.  We urge you to be clear about your objectives and capabilities.  And we urge you to seek the professional advice you may need to make the final decision to purchase.  If you are like most people, you’ll buy a business only once in a lifetime.  One shot at turning your visions into reality.  One shot at getting it right or getting it wrong. 

If you are ready to invest your resources in a business of your own, talk it over with one of our associates.  We are ready to help you own a business you can really enjoy.
