For business buyers

Prepare to buy the right business, not just an available business.

A strong purchase starts with clear goals, realistic financing, careful due diligence, and a plan for both the business and any commercial Real Estate.

The form includes your name, email address, cell phone number, buying goals, and financing information.

1

Define the opportunity

Choose the industries, markets, business size, number of locations, and level of owner involvement that fit your experience and goals.

2

Prepare the financing

Know the cash you can invest, expected working capital, financing needs, and whether a lender has reviewed your financial position.

3

Review the earnings

Confirm revenue, expenses, owner adjustments, payroll, cash flow, and whether the business can support buyer debt and a reasonable owner income.

4

Complete due diligence

Review tax returns, financial statements, equipment, employees, contracts, licenses, environmental records, leases, and other information with qualified professionals.

5

Understand the Real Estate

Commercial Real Estate is evaluated separately from the business. Review market rent, property condition, lease terms, occupancy costs, and whether the property is included or retained by the seller.

6

Plan the transition

Understand training, employees, customer relationships, vendor accounts, franchise approval when applicable, and what must happen during the first ninety days.

Important: An asking price is not proof of value. Buyers should independently verify the business earnings, financing capacity, assets, lease, and commercial Real Estate before making a final decision.

      Commercial Real Estate and Market Rent

      Important: If the business occupies property owned by the seller, buyers and lenders may evaluate the business using current market rent instead of only the owner’s mortgage payment. A properly structured written lease can help support the property value, but the higher rent may reduce the business’s adjusted profit. Both sides should be planned together.
