A Good Business to Buy?

What factors make an attractive business investment?

There are many considerations when purchasing a business. Some buyers consider only the financial aspects of a business, albeit to the detriment of the buying decision. Buyers should ensure both financial and non-financial needs are satisfied. Typical strengths of a good business to buy might include:

• Return on investment in the range of 25%-50% (after owners wage)
• Payback period of under 5 years
• Earnings between 10% and 20%
• Year in year out profit growth history of 10%+
• Ease of availability of resources (HR, capital and technology)
• Ability for the business to managed without being dependent on the owner
