I would think only businesses for sale are the ones losing money. Does Bay Business Investment sell businesses that are making money?
This is a very common, but erroneous belief. The great majority of businesses for sale are being sold for what is known as human reasons, rather than financial ones. Human reasons include things like illness or death of the owner or in the owner’s family, divorce, a desire to do something different, a desire to retire, or just plain burn-out. Generally speaking, a business does not survive for several years if it is losing money consistently. However, most business owners will take advantage of every opportunity that is legally available to reduce the taxes the business pays. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the total owner’s benefit to fully understand the financial health of the business. The answer is yes, we offer for sale many, many businesses that are earning a profit.
