Buying an Existing Business or Franchise

For many, buying an existing business is a shortcut to starting up from scratch yourself. In most cases, you will be buying not just the assets but also the good will and sheer graft that went into constructing the business originally.

The idea of the business should have been substantially proven. There should be records and accounts to back its financial worthiness. And, hopefully, you will inherit a long list of existing customers.

Another option could be to buy into a franchise. There are many franchises in the UK to choose from such as restaurants and fast food outlets; an enormous variety of retail; cleaning and gardening services to children's music clubs and nurseries. You will need to invest some of your own money in this type of venture but the hard work in terms of deciding how to run the business is already done for you.

When taking out a loan to buy an existing business, it may be a safer option for the lender itself, rather than backing someone with little business experience (though perhaps with a very good idea).

In short, buying an existing business or a successful franchise - provided you're confident about its long-term viability - could prove to be a good move.
