For business buyers
Prepare to buy the right business, not just an available business.
A strong purchase starts with clear goals, realistic financing, careful due diligence, and a plan for both the business and any commercial Real Estate.
The form includes your name, email address, cell phone number, buying goals, and financing information.
1
Define the opportunity
Choose the industries, markets, business size, number of locations, and level of owner involvement that fit your experience and goals.
2
Prepare the financing
Know the cash you can invest, expected working capital, financing needs, and whether a lender has reviewed your financial position.
3
Review the earnings
Confirm revenue, expenses, owner adjustments, payroll, cash flow, and whether the business can support buyer debt and a reasonable owner income.
4
Complete due diligence
Review tax returns, financial statements, equipment, employees, contracts, licenses, environmental records, leases, and other information with qualified professionals.
5
Understand the Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate is evaluated separately from the business. Review market rent, property condition, lease terms, occupancy costs, and whether the property is included or retained by the seller.
6
Plan the transition
Understand training, employees, customer relationships, vendor accounts, franchise approval when applicable, and what must happen during the first ninety days.
Important: An asking price is not proof of value. Buyers should independently verify the business earnings, financing capacity, assets, lease, and commercial Real Estate before making a final decision.
Confidential buyer inquiry
Tell us what you are looking to buy
Your buyer profile helps BizSale Network understand the type of opportunity that may fit your goals. Submitting this form does not commit you to a purchase or guarantee that an opportunity is available.
BizSale Network provides education, preparation, and introductions. Business opportunities, brokerage services, financing, legal advice, tax advice, valuation, and Real Estate services may require separate qualified or licensed professionals. Services and available professionals vary by state.

Tanks and Environmental Records
Important: Tank compliance and environmental history can affect financing, liability, property value, and the time needed to close. Buyers commonly need records covering tank registration, testing, release detection, financial responsibility, known releases, cleanup work, agency correspondence, and environmental site assessments.
Commercial Real Estate and Market Rent
Important: If the business occupies property owned by the seller, buyers and lenders may evaluate the business using current market rent instead of only the owner’s mortgage payment. A properly structured written lease can help support the property value, but the higher rent may reduce the business’s adjusted profit. Both sides should be planned together.

It is not a certified appraisal, independent formal business valuation, Quality of Earnings report, lender valuation, legal opinion, tax opinion, financing approval, listing agreement, or guarantee of a selling price. The appropriate professional will be determined by the location and scope of the engagement.
