Key considerations
When you are thinking about buying a business there are various things that both you and a potential lender will need to consider:
-
Experience – do you have the right level of experience to run the business? How will you run it?
-
Performance – how well is the business doing? Is it in a good location? Is there enough profit in the business to be able to repay a loan easily and allow you to take enough out of the business for yourself?
-
Contribution – what are you able to invest in the business (savings, other properties, etc.)?
-
Personal history – do you have a clear credit history?
