Thinking About Buying a Business? Start by De-Risking

So you want to own your own business?  Did you know that over the next 20 years over $124 trillion in assets will be transitioned….and much of that will be in the form of businesses passing to heirs or being sold.  It is a great time to find a business to buy. 

I had a recent client who wanted to buy a small business that was doing $2-3 million in revenue per year.  And spinning off good cash.  But the owner had no systems and his books were a mess such that it was really hard to feel confident about the offer price.  Without doing the due diligence and de-risking the acquisition my client was going to clearly overpay. So, If you are going to buy you need to make sure you de-risk your acquisition as much as possible, and a good place to start is the GW-Legacy De-Risking Audit Worksheet. 

If you are planning to make an acquisition we can help make sure you don’t overpay and you are fully aware of the risks.
