Why
are businesses sold? Contrary to what many people
relieve, businesses aren't sold just
because they are bankrupt. There are
very legitimate reasons why a business
owner might want to sell. Some of these
are:
Worrisome
exposure to business risks
often aggravated by personal
guarantee loans.
Tired
of, or bored with the business.
Possible
failure of the business if
one or more owners become
seriously ill or disabled.
Personal
preference of the owners to
retire or simply change their
lifestyle.
Divorce
or dissolution of partnership.
Owner's
desire to pursue other business
interests which may be more
challenging or less stressful.
Lack
of sufficient working capital.
A
need within the company for
new skills, new resources,
or a new philosophy to cope
with ever changing economic
forces, government regulations
and competition.
World wide, businesses change
hands every 5 years on average.
What
types of business formats can I consider
for having my own business?
On-going
businesses. Which are companies
that are functioning and have an operative
history.
Franchises.
Which have a defined business format
that you can acquire, as long as you
are accepted as an operator and have
an acceptable commercial space from
the viewpoint of the franchisor. There
are four types of franchise formats:
Individual Franchise, Multiple Franchise,
Regional Franchise, and International
Master Franchise.
Business
Opportunities. In which you will
not pay a royalty for operation, and
will be entitled to an initial support
in equipment, trademark or business
systems, as in the case of distributions.
Investment
Projects. Risk capital investments
in which a part of all of the elements
required to initiate the project are
needed, and there is a business plan
from the owner of the project.
Commercial
Spaces. In case you want to initiate
your own business, the decision of
where it is going to be located is
essential to the success of the company.
