Emotional Preparation Is The key to Selling Your Business

The number one deal killer when selling a business is the seller's inability to let go.  Sometimes I feel like I wear the hat of a psychologist more than any other.

When buying a business is better than starting: Buy a business

When buying a business is better than starting: Buy a business:

Article is written by an Australian businessman, Marc Peskett, but offers good advice for anyone deciding whether to buy a business or start a business.  Potential advantages of buying include:

1. Instant access to customers
2. Entry into new markets
3. Intellectual property
4. Established sales and marketing systems and processes
5. Experienced people
6. Economies of scale

There are also pitfalls to watch out for:

1. Will you overpay?
2. Is everything transferable?
3. Will customers and suppliers stick with you?
4. Will key employees stick with you?
5. Can you limit liability?
