Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Business
How do I buy a business?
Start by defining what you want to own: the industry, location, price range, and how involved you want to be day to day. From there, you search for businesses that fit, review the financial records, make an offer, line up financing, and complete due diligence before closing. We guide buyers through each of those steps so nothing important gets missed.
How much money do I need to buy a business?
Many buyers use an SBA 7(a) loan, which often requires a down payment of around 10 percent of the purchase price. Lenders also look at your credit, your experience, and whether the business earns enough to cover the loan payments. Some sellers agree to carry part of the price as a note, which can reduce what you need up front.
What is due diligence?
Due diligence is the review a buyer completes before closing to confirm the business is what the seller says it is. It covers financial records, tax returns, customer contracts, leases, employees, equipment, and any legal issues. It's where most surprises come to light, so it's worth doing carefully.
Should I buy a competitor?
Buying a competitor can be one of the fastest ways to grow. You gain customers, employees, and market share in a single move, often for less than it would cost to build the same results from scratch. The key is understanding how the two businesses will fit together before you make an offer.
What does buyer representation include?
Our buyer representation covers finding the right opportunity, reviewing the financials, structuring and submitting offers, guiding due diligence, working with lenders, negotiating terms, and closing. We also offer flat-rate diligence and financial review packages for buyers who have already found a business.
Where do you offer buyer representation?
Full buyer representation is available in 25 states. Buyers in any state can attend our free weekly Acquisition Primer and our monthly Acquisition Blueprint session.
What's the difference between the Acquisition Primer and the Acquisition Blueprint?
The Acquisition Primer is a free one-hour session held every Wednesday that introduces the buying process. The Acquisition Blueprint is a four-hour monthly session that goes much deeper, with step-by-step direction on finding, reviewing, financing, and closing on a business.
How long does it take to buy a business?
Most purchases take three to six months from a signed offer to closing, depending on financing, the size of the deal, and how quickly records are shared. The search itself can take longer, which is why having a clear strategy from the start matters.
