With our journal and website, we aim to provide news and resources for and about entrepreneurs who are seeking to start, purchase, franchise or sell a business.
Visit our resource pages for information about the various stages of buying a business or franchise: the search process, finding a broker, due diligence, making an offer, negotiating the contract, escrow, closing, obtaining financing, tax considerations, and post-acquisition management and growth.
