Thinking of opening your own business? Has the lure of being your own boss bitten you? You certainly could build a business from scratch if you have an idea and the business capability to create a plan and follow it through.

However there is another route. You could choose an from our catalog of existing business opportunities. Some of these business opportunitiescome with their own real estate ie the purchase price includes the land and building. In other cases these businesses are in rented or leased premises. It is important to understand if the listing you are interested in includes land and building or is for the business only.

In some cases (such as retail stores) there may be additional costs such as purchasing the existing stock. Once again you should ensure you know if stock (and sometimes fixtures) comes with the purchase or has to be bought separately.

It is important to note that in many cases buying an existing business makes the process of business ownership easier, but you should always take the business financial records to a competent account to have an analysis done and get advise on the true status of the business.
