I talk to many people who confide they have thought of starting their own business.  The question is whether or not it’s the right thing for you to do.  The Wall Street Journal recently published a report that lists some of the questions you need to ask yourself.  See http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123498006564714189.html ^[1].  If you decide you want to be in business for yourself, there are two important things I know from personal experience.  First, buying an established business (possibly even a franchise) rather than starting one on your own will dramatically increase your chance of success.  That’s because you can take advantage of a proven business model, typically with experienced employees allready on board.  Second, you need good professional advice.  If you want to learn more about how to buy a business the right way, please contact us.
