Manufacturing, service, retail, wholesale and the internet businesses all have different values. There are software programs available for determining value and helping to speed up the process of researching and analyzing businesses.

Through a good valuation program and interactive software containing legal agreements, templates and sample letters of solicitations you can cut the average business purchasing time by 70%. These time-saving materials can also be a savings on fees charged by attorneys and accountants.  Of course you must use an attorney and accountant, but you can save a lot on their fees. 

You can use solicitation letters to find businesses that are not currently on the market.  The one we use generates as high as a 40% response rate.  Follow up letters to send to sellers, forms, logs and checklists, and other interactive resources provide templates for doing your research. 

It is important that the area of business you choose to purchase meets certain criteria about you and your needs.  Choose business that will benefit from your strengths, while they do not suffer from your weaknesses.  One common mistake made by many is turning a hobby into a business.  This is a bad choice because their prejudices of the hobby can have an adverse effect on the business.  The definition of a good business is one that has a good fit, has the opportunity to grow, make plenty of money and be enjoyable to run.

The resources are endless when considering the purchase of a business.  The Internet, business brokers, classified sections, attorneys, accountants, Chambers of Commerce but most of all people are the best resources.  Attend workshops and seminars; learn by networking with others who have businesses and get the word out that you are looking to purchase a business.
