EXPERT ADVISING
Buying a Business
Do you have an opportunity to purchase an existing business? Or considering a franchise? The SBDC can be an invaluable resource!
Is Opportunity Knocking?
Buying an existing business comes with numerous benefits. You get a head start with an established customer base, proven revenue streams, and operational systems in place. It’s a shortcut to entrepreneurship without starting from scratch.
