The Biggest Risk in Buying a Business? Getting a Great Deal on the Wrong One.
A business is generating revenue. The seller says it's profitable. The asking price looks attractive, and the growth potential sounds impressive.
On paper, it looks like a deal worth pursuing.
But what if the profits depend on the owner working 60 hours a week? What if one supplier accounts for most of the stock? What if the advertising costs are rising, the customer base is weakening, or the growth projections are little more than wishful thinking?
You could negotiate the price down and still end up with the wrong business.
Because a good acquisition isn't just about what you pay, it's about what you're actually buying.
