Steps to Buying a Business

1. Determine What Type of Business to Buy

2. Find the Right Business

3. Make an Offer to Purchase

   Once we’ve located the right business we’ll put together an offer to purchase. This is a detailed contract that spells out the purchase price, closing date, exactly what you are purchasing as well as any contingencies that may be necessary in order to protect you.
