Looking to become a business owner? Before you buy a business, it’s important to be prepared. Gateway Mergers & Acquisitions is an established North Texas firm of experienced business brokers. As industry experts, we’ve compiled a concise checklist of key precautions or questions to prepare ahead of time:
Before You Buy a Business…
- Get help from a good business broker who understands your needs and what you’re looking for
- Do some research on the industry you’re considering and get an idea of its future trajectory
- If you already own a business, figure out how to incorporate the new business and its employees into your current company
- Dig into the business’ reputation and uncover any hurdles to tackle and address
- Does the business need a turnaround?
- Why is the company for sale? Don’t assume, it’s your job to ask the tough questions so you can uncover problems now rather than later
- Ask for all the business’s financials to go over with your accountant
- Ask the seller if there are any legal issues that may hamper our ability to do business
