With a shrinking, rocky economy come lots of opportunities! Small business owners who are struggling and no longer willing to invest in their business are looking to sell their ventures. It might be the perfect time for you to consider buying an existing small business. You should definitely consider the unique sales proposition (USP) of any business, whether you develop or purchase it. If it doesn’t speak to a particular market or fulfill an unmet need, there is no point in pursuing it. And you should also consider your personal skill set and if it is matched to the opportunity.
