The purchase of an existing business with a track record of success versus starting from scratch is truly a “no brainer.” Having gone both routes in the past, we would be hard pressed to justify the incredible risks associated with starting a brand new business. Why take all of the many chances when a successful, existing business can provide you with all of the following the day you are handed the keys:

• Actual Results rather than pro-forma.
• Immediate Cash Flow.
• A proven Location.
• Trained Employees in place.
• Established Suppliers and Credit.
• Established Customers and referral business.
• Existing Licenses and Permits.
• Training by the seller.
• The availability of Owner Financing and Bank / SBA Financing typically unavailable to start ups.
