We talk about people who are becoming business owners, the business buyer ecosystem, and first-time business owners in an unfamiliar industry. BBIC works with folks who are leaving corporate America and wanting to be their own boss. Most likely, they come from an entrepreneurial family, and they are more likely to buy something that is already running rather than starting from scratch. People are biased against franchises; however, they could buy an existing franchise that is already up and running with immediate cash flow. We touch on the mental and emotional realities that exist when you buy a business. Plus, we explain why the most valuable type of business is one that can run without the owner being there. Stay tuned as we discuss how to establish relationships as a broker, about finding recession-resistant companies, and how to score hidden deals.
