Dear Business Buyer,
The prospect of owning your own business is exciting
...
- Experiencing the freedom of being your own boss
- Controlling your own destiny
- Making money for yourself instead of someone else
And it's true ... owning a business can be very rewarding.
Just be careful.
Buying a business is a lot like walking through a field
of landmines. If you know where each one is buried, no problem.
But if not, potential disaster looms with every step.
Watch out for sleazy Sellers
Sellers lie and hide damaging facts about the businesses they have for sale.
(And the business brokers who list these businesses are no better ... they favor the seller over the buyer at every turn. Why? The reason is simple. They only get paid if the business sells.)
That puts you, the first-time business buyer, at a serious disadvantage.
And it could cost you big-time. You could lose tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars if you make a
purchase mistake.
Consider this example ...
"I recall an instance in which the buyer of a trucking company didn’t use a broker or any buyer’s representative. He bought the trucking company for a fair price, but the idea of requiring the seller to sign a non-compete agreement didn’t occur to him.
About six months after the sale, the seller got restless and decided retirement wasn't for him. He bought new trucks and started calling his previous customers, soliciting their patronage for his new company. A lot of the customers switched.
The buyer of the trucking company was critically wounded
financially, and unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it.
The loss was upwards of $500,000." |
Here's the bottom line. Do you know .....
- If you're paying too much for a business?
- If a seller is hiding problems or some other devastating situation?
- Creative ways to finance a business purchase?
You need unbiased,
buyer-focused advice
Hi, my name is Alex Cohen, and I'm a business broker.
And frankly, I'm fed-up with sellers. I'm tired of their lies,
and I'm sick of their antics.
That's why I became a "buyers-only" business broker. I refuse to
work with sellers, and I don't list businesses for sale.
Instead, I help you, the business buyer, level the playing field. I provide you with unbiased, buyer-focused advice ...
so you can buy a business without paying too much or making a big
mistake.
Look, I know what I'm saying about sellers is harsh. Obviously, not everybody is out to cheat you.
But
many are, so you must approach a business purchase as if they all are.
When looking at a business to buy, don’t believe a word the
seller says. Verify everything.
