What Steps Should You Take Before Buying a
Small or Mid-Sized Business in NJ?
There are basic steps to successfully accomplishing any process. Here are some you should take before buying a small or mid-sized business:
- Determine the type of business best suited to your financial and lifestyle expectations. Because there are a wide variety of businesses for sale, Sunbelt Business Brokers can help reduce the stress and aggravation by narrowing down the options to those that meet your requirements.
- Evaluate the basic information your Sunbelt Business Broker has provided on the businesses that sound interesting to you.
- Visit the business (if possible) without identifying yourself as a buyer to get a “feel” for the operation including its location, facility, and employees.
- Make arrangements through your Sunbelt Business Broker to meet with the seller and ask questions about the history, direction and operation of the business.
- Conduct a preliminary evaluation of the information the seller provided your Sunbelt Business Broker as well as the details you gathered during your initial meeting with the seller.
- Make an offer, assuming all of the information you have been given is correct. The offer should include contingencies that allow you to confirm all the information originally provided.
- Negotiate the price and terms of the purchase through your Sunbelt Business Broker.
- Once a purchase price is agreed upon, conduct a thorough investigation of the business (otherwise referred to as due diligence) to confirm your satisfaction with the validity of the purchase price.
- Have your attorney prepare documents for the closing.
- Close the purchase and begin your first day as owner of your business.
