Hi everyone. I'm new here. I know this is the business start up section, but figured that you guys could help because the topic is similar. I'm looking to buy an existing business instead of starting one from scratch. My only problem is that I'm not sure where I should look first. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for anything, really. I'm interested in food, like a sandwich shop (not Subway!) or a coffee shop. I'm also interested in retail, like a small clothing boutique. I don't want to do the whole Mary Kay, Tupperware thing.

Depending on what you are looking for, I may have some options for you. Im a business development consultant that works with people looking to acquire cash flowing businesses on a partnership basis (either minority or majority). Some purchases dont even require cash (just liquid assets or good credit). If interested, get back to me at ajones@abcsolutions.cjb.net

Are you looking for something that is already established like a Mary Kay type of deal? I have a friend who sells jewelry through Lia Sophia and it has been profitable for her. She really enjoys it. I can connect you with her if you are interested.

Have you searched online at the classifieds. There are some websites that only advertise businesses for sale. I suggeset going to BizTrader.com. It's a global marketplace for small business. My neightbor is in the process of selling his small business after he posted it on there, but it's still a good place to buy one (obviously, if he's selling). It's a good place to find a small business on the Internet. Anyway, check out biztrader.com sometime. You might be able to find something that you like. Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out BizTrader.com, and I really like what I saw. I was already able to find a couple of potential businesses that I'm going to ask about soon. What I like about it is that it's super easy to use! Nice suggestion!
