There’s risk everywhere you look when buying or investing in a business.
If you’re looking to sell or attract an investor you need to be on the front foot addressing those risks for the prospective purchaser / investor before they even think of them.
Just some risks you might want to consider:
With the outgoing owner goes all the customers
The GFC isn’t over
Potential regulation changes
Key staff won’t stay
Interest rates are likely to be going up
The outgoing owner will start up elsewhere and take all our business
New technologies in the industry
