Financing buying a business.

Get ahead - own your own business!

Buying an existing business is always easier and safer than starting one from scratch. If you’re still looking for that ideal business opportunity then check out the listings on nzbizbuysell.co – NZ’s leading Business for Sale site.

Why buying an existing business…

A customer base - this means cash flow from day one.
Accepted products and/or services. They have already been developed.
Experienced and skilled staff who understand the business.
Operating Systems that keep the customers coming and the cash flowing.
History - the previous owner has operated this business and will have financial records on its performance.

Key questions to ask when buying?

Why is the business for sale?
Is the business in an industry or area that I will enjoy?
Do I have the skills needed in order to operate this as a successful business?
Do I understand the market and how this business compares with competitors?
Have I the necessary financial resources and support to do this?
Does and will it make money?

Having done your homework – move on the opportunity…

Once you have done your homework and consulted with your advisors, you are in a position to negotiate on the price and terms of sale. On agreement there will usually be a due diligence period where you will work (often with your accountant) to verify all the information supplied is correct, and commence organizing suitable finance for the purchase of your business – provided everything checks out okay.
