Buying an established business means immediate cash flow. The business will have a financial history, which gives you an idea of what to expect and can make it easier to secure loans. You will acquire existing customers, contacts, goodwill, suppliers, staff, equipment and stock.

This week on Franchising & You, Vetpreneur and Business Broker & Consultant, Curt Maier discusses acquiring an existing business and comparing the same to investing in a franchise or even starting a business from the ground up. 

Franchising & You airs LIVE every Saturday at 9:30 AM ET / 8:30 AM CT with each segment available on-demand.
