This is just a short list of what you are about to learn in this amazing little guide! First off, a little bit about ourselves: my brother Alex and I came up with an idea to build a "Businesses for Sale" type of website. So we purchased the domain name www.for-sale-businesses.com. Instead of throwing a website together and hoping it sticks, we thought that if we were going to do this, we wanted to add value by finding out just what buyers of businesses are seeking. I was hesitant at first, but knew we should "do something different." We started to build upon free accounts, learning through trial and error what brokers, sellers, and buyers want. We are still learning. This book is designed to give you, as a buyer, some good "hands on" information when buying a new business. It includes business broker tips and hearing what they have to say about buying a business. The reason why we based this guidebook on broker interviews is because of their vast experience and knowledge when it comes to mergers and acquisitions. This short and easy to read compilation of information is sure to get your feet set on the right path before you invest your life savings and go head long into the purchase of a new or existing business. We are going to teach you right away some of the most important things you absolutely need to know in order to avoid making any major financial mistakes as you begin this process. If this is your first time deciding you want to own and operate a business, this simple guide will give you a framework for success. It is based on interviews with business brokers throughout the United States, ranging from different financial and business expertise. It is my hope and desire that you will think clearly and carefully about these concepts as you consider buying a business. It may save you time and frustration instead of doing it the "hard way." This is intended to help you avoid any pitfalls and unnecessary failures. The brokers and their information are referenced in the appendix.
