What is the name of your state? Texas
Just wondering what the smartest thing to do is... Buy existing or start from scratch?
Business details...
Sales price of online business = $185K
I've offered $125K with a promissary note for the remaining $60K. Collateral for this $60K is my condo which i currently own free and clear.
It would take me 1.5 years to break even. The business has been profitable since its existence. It has a customer base of 9,000 and sales have been steadily growing. Profit margin is 45%
The dilemma i have is what is the advantage of acquiring an existing online business when i have enough funds to start one on my own? I mean why expend this large amount of cash upfront when i can use far less of this cash to create my own "baby"
Is there a better way to finance it?
Thanks
