Many times, people want to start a business from scratch, but buying an existing company can be the smarter choice.


Why Buy an Existing Business

Skip the startup grind: New businesses demand time, money, permits, and long hours before seeing profit. By purchasing an established business, you step into a running operation with staff, customers, and cash flow already in place.


Reduce risk: Nearly half of startups fail in the first year, and most don’t last five. Buying a proven business with a customer base and financial history lowers uncertainty and gives you a clear picture of what you’re getting.


Better financing: Banks are more willing to lend when they see reliable earnings. This often makes funding easier than starting from zero. SBA loans are a great way to get funding.
