If you are looking to get into the business field there are two options. The first is to create your own business and have your own idea that you were implementing. However the second would be to purchase an already existing business and then take over the management of that business. Sometimes this could be a good option because you already have a business that has established itself with a reputation however what factors do you think are important when purchasing an already existing business? Personally I would look at the financial statements as well as the projected financial statements in order to see how the company is expected to grow. Are there any other factors that should be under consideration?
