Buying a Retail Business
We buy these businesses ourselves, so these guides are the checks we actually run rather than general advice about acquisitions.

The Short Version
Where First-Time Buyers Get Caught
- Valuing earnings that only exist because the owner works unpaid
- Assuming a licence or a supply agreement simply carries across to them
- Finding out about a lease assignment clause after agreeing a price
- Treating inventory as part of the business price rather than on top of it
- Leaving environmental work until the lender asks for it
- Modelling a purchase with the property in it without separating the rent
