Article Check - The Single Worst Mistake You Can Make When Buying A Business
Richard graduated from the police academy in 1985. This person started out in traffic at the Los Angeles Police Department then later on transferred to the Special Weapons and Tactics or SWAT team.The unit where Richard was assigned in saw a lot of action even though this group is only called in as a last resort to end a siege. This made the individual ready to confront anyone, which is one o
In fact, the bigger the business the better.
Why?
Two reasons:
1.) First of all, if you use private investors, it's easier to get financing for these kinds of businesses.
Frankly, you will find it MUCH easier to get financing from investors (as opposed to a bank, for example) because they are always looking for good deals.
And
Industrial paper shredders are used to shred large volumes of paper. These are perfect for use in large companies, outsourced shredding companies, large corporations, banks, businesses, and warehouses. Industrial paper shredders can manage all your paper shredding needs in a cost effective, secure, and convenient way. Industrial paper shredders are able to destroy substantial workloads more efficien
You have your financing lined up.
The numbers look excellent.
Everything seems profitable, and everything is perfect.
Except for one thing.
And that is...unless you've bought a business with a system in place that literally "runs itself" -- whether or not you show up every day -- all you've done is buy yourself a glorified job.
A job where you will probably make (if you measure your income per hour) less than most of your employees.
A job that will likely cause you an enormous amount of stress, anxiety and pressure every single day of the week -- including weekends.
Why do I say this?
Because that is what happens many times when someone buys a business without the proper systems already installed.
You see, the key to buying a business is making sure you buy one that works on its own, whether you are there or not.
I like the way best selling author Robert Kiyosaki explains it in his book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad."
He defines the ideal business as the kind where you can go away for a year (or longer) and come back to find your business stronger than when you left.
In other words, the "machine" that runs your business should be so fine-tuned your presence is almost an interference. Where you actually make more money when you're out playing golf or goofing off with your kids at Disney Land.
Of course, this begs the question of how exactly do you find businesses like that, especially for sale?
That's a good question.
Luckily, the answer is pretty simple:

Usually the defining moment for a small to mid size distributor or wholesaler is when they get a huge order from their best customer. It is not unusual for a large customer to place a few small test orders, and if everything works well, to follow up with a stream of massive orders. This is the kind of situation that can truly grow a company and help it reach the next level.However, this can a

You may have heard this word used a lot online, there is a reason why. A virtual assistant is basically a person who is a temporary worker for an online business. Sometimes this is more common for businesses over seas. A virtual assistant is often compared to lawyers or a realtor because of the way they go about performing their services.How Do I Become A Virtual Assistant?Well to b

People react very differently to the waves of change that suddenly flood the work and marketplace. Some, who feel confused or unsettled struggle to keep their heads above water gasping for air. By contrast, others, who may not even like or agree with the changes, nevertheless accept them, get on with their lives and swim forcefully to their new destination. The following three tactics will help yo

Receivables is something very common in most firms. Many businesses could not work without receivables, but they must be kept to a decent level. That's why most accountants are always pressing their clients to monitor their receivables and to avoid a situation where too much money is due. Problematic situations generally occur because most small business owners do not want to spend their time on pho

And if you can show them the business makes sense, many investors will jump on board with you in a heartbeat.
2.) And secondly, if you have a large, multi-million dollar business, you will have more than enough money to pay an experienced manager to "run" everything for you.
In fact, if you find a good business running on all cylinders -- where everything has been profitable for at least five years straight -- you should do whatever it takes to keep the current management in there and stay as far away from the office as possible.
After all, if the manager has been running things smoothly and profitably without you before, then there is no reason why it shouldn't keep running smoothly and profitably whether you show up or not.
Anyway, the bottom line is this:
The worst mistake you can make when buying a business is buying one that is dependent on you being there.
If you want to really enjoy owning a business (and basically just cash a check for a living) then buy a business that has a fine-tuned system that runs and grows itself -- without you having to be there.
