If you want to buy a business, you have to ask yourself some tough questions and make sure you are not basing your decision on your emotions. After reading this book you will feel more informed and confident in your decisions and you will be armed with the facts that you need to know." You need to protect yourself financially in this type of acquisition. Some basics we cover include: - Discovering your motives for buying a business - EXPERT opinions & advice from seasoned business brokers - Count the Cost before you get in over your head! - Tips for success when buying a business - Numbers and stuff. What to look for in the financials! - How much money up front? - How long will it take? - Keeping records - Checking the facts - Financing and loans - Seller Financing - Do you have the skills? - The joys of owning a business! - Yes, you can do it! 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. So go ahead and download the book now with one click and enjoy. To your success, Corey

How to Buy the Right Business the Right Way by Ted J Leverette Pdf

Too many people buy the wrong business or buy the right business the wrong way. Longtime dealmaker Ted J. Leverette's book, How to Buy the Right Business the Right Way: Dos, Don'ts & Profit Strategies, is the definitive guide. The sad reality is poorly prepared people, who cannot show their advisors worthwhile deals, are the #1 reason why attorneys, accountants, lenders and other others kill deals or have trouble with clients. Business brokers and sellers, too, suffer from ill-prepared buyers. Don't believe it? Ask them. This book distills decades of Leverette's dealmaking experiences with entrepreneurs buying, selling, and advising small and midsize businesses. It explains hundreds of dos, don'ts, and profit strategies, any one of which can make or break the deal you intend to do, especially relating to companies with annual revenue of $1 million to $10 million. "Anything smaller," Leverette warns, "is not a smart investment for searchers capable of buying bigger and more profitable." Readers see reality. How to be taken seriously by brokers, sellers, and lenders. Understanding the dealmaking playing field. Detecting and screening opportunities and vulnerabilities. Due Diligence - Valuing - Financing - Negotiating - Transitioning Into the Company. Readers educate themselves and showcase what they bring to the table, plus other things they can do to achieve the best deal, at the lowest cost and in the least amount of time. Leverette says, "why settle for some of the businesses for sale if you can access all of them on the unadvertised and huge hidden market of sellers, which is where to find the best companies and the best deals." Business owners, sellers, and their advisors use this book to better-understand and deal with buyers. Written clearly, easy-to-read, and organized for quick reference, "How to Buy the Right Business the Right Way," empowers buyers to save time, money and aggravation during their journey searching for and acquiring companies. "Ted's advice on creative dealmaking is second to none. If you're going to buy a business to protect your family's future, this book is insurance you'll be glad you invested in," advises David Barnett, Author, Speaker, Educator, Business Buy/Sell Process Coach. Ted J. Leverette is a published author, speaker, and advisor, worldwide, to owners, buyers, and sellers of small and midsize businesses. His other books include, "How to Prepare Yourself and Find the Right Business to Buy" and "How to Get ALL the Money You Want For Your Business Without Stealing It."
