Buying a Business

Buying a business may be more realistic than you think. Using an SBA loan, you can get a business for as little as 5% down. If you are buying a business for $100,000 you would only need $5,000; likewise if buying a business for $1 million you would only need $50,000.

Tying to buy a business on your own can be challenging. You can’t just get financial information from a seller, take it to a lender, and expect to obtain a loan. The seller’s financials need to be cleaned up so they clearly show the business’s true cash flow, not just the tax return net income.

Using the right Business Intermediary Advisor is crucial in making sure you increase your chances of correctly analyzing and picking a profitable business which will result in a profitable sale.”
