What should I check before buying a business in the US?
Review at least three years of tax returns and profit and loss statements, confirm whether it is an asset or stock purchase, check the lease, licences and permits, and ask about state sales tax and bulk-sale rules. Work with a business attorney and a CPA.
How do people finance buying a small business in the US?
Common routes are SBA 7(a) loans, seller financing, where the owner lets you pay part of the price over time, and personal savings or investors. Lenders usually expect a down payment and a clear record of the business's cash flow.
