Start a Business or Buy One?

The make or buy business decision is very important to a budding entrepreneur. Do you go from ground zero or buy a business that already has a track record? Even if that means buying a business with a track record that isn’t all that good.

You need to ask yourself if you want to go through the hassles of starting with absolutely nothing and working your way up or taking over where someone else left off.

Some businesses may be better off starting from scratch if the costs of entry into the market are low as it is with businesses like consulting. As another example, very often it’s better to buy a retail-based business where a build-out of a location would be very expensive and time consuming.

Any potential business buyer needs to know and understand the typical odds they are facing once they have decided to be their own boss. Although this information seems discouraging, there of course is hope.

Believe it or not, there is more on the pro side than the con side in buying a business instead of starting from nothing.
