Entrepreneurs who think they want to buy a towing business need to have some idea of what to look for when examining businesses for sale in this industry. The assets, including tow trucks and perhaps the property where towed vehicles are stored, determine much of the value of this kind of company.
Looking to buy a California gas station? Consider these five questions first before buying a gas station, saving lots of money & headaches. Peter Siegel, MBA and Founder of BizBen.com and BizBen's Top Advisor for the BizBen ProBuy and ProSell Programs discusses this topic of buying CA gas stations.
The quickest way to sell a gas station is to first do preparatory tasks before even looking for a buyer. Owners often make the mistake of getting transaction experts to help sell their gas station without even collecting the right information and doing an internal analysis of their own.
Those seeking to buy gas station business opportunities need to know about five factors that can make this purchase particularly risky compared to other businesses.
Most people who think they want to buy a gas station don't realize that finding the right business to own in this industry and determining its fair price pose more complex problems than buying a fast food franchise, retail store or most types of businesses. There are many variables to consider.
If you are looking at California smog shops with the idea of buying one in order to have your own business, you'll be pleased to know this type of company can be quite profitable if operated properly. To get the best return on your investment in this business, plan to work as the test technician.
One of the most popular business searches (and eventual business purchase) on BizBen is the self serve and full service car wash. Peter Siegel, MBA (ProBuy & ProSell Programs Director) with BizBen.com reflects on three types of car wash models and what buyers should look for in a car wash purchase.
