The Buyer's Red-Flag Checklist

27 questions to answer before you buy an existing business. Free, in plain language, from someone who works for the buyer.

What is inside

  • Is the profit real once someone is paid to do the owner's job?
  • Do you know your breakeven before you make an offer?
  • What comes with the business, and what does not: debts, liens, licences, equipment.
  • The lease: how long is left, and will it be renewed?
  • The customers and staff you cannot afford to lose.
  • The price, the pressure, and when to walk away.

Tick each question only when you have an answer you can back up. Any question you cannot answer is where to dig next.
