Book description
For many the dream of owning their own business remains just that. Even
if you have a great idea, the work and money involved in building a
business from the ground up can prove too daunting. What few aspiring
entrepreneurs realise is that buying an already existing business can be
far easier, sometimes possible with little or no money at all, and can
be just as satisfying a route to self-sufficiency.
In easy-to-follow language, Buying and Selling a Business takes you
through the entire process, from identifying your target business and
assembling the right team to help you, to valuation, agreeing terms and
finding the necessary finance. Just as importantly, Haigh helps you
ensure your deal is the right deal for you, offering advice on running
the business you buy and implementing proper exit strategies from the
start. With valuable appendices containing typical documentation, and
how to read them, Jo Haigh's book is a one-stop resource to closing the
deal and transforming your life. Jo Haigh is a corporate financier who
has owned her own company for nearly ten years, helping people buy and
sell businesses. She was named South Yorkshire Business Woman of the
Year in 2005 and IOD Business Advisor of the Year 2006.
