Written by Candice Humbley


Many hosting companies that offer low prices find it hard to offer a good and reliable service. This, in most cases, is due to failure to project company growth. Web host growth refers torepparttar amount of accounts coming in and at what rate. If a web host company does not plan their growth properly, then account holders will suffer directly. With too many accounts and not enough infrastructure, servers and manpower, resources are stretched andrepparttar 106835 service declines, rapidly.

The result being, as soon as you sign up for an account you experience regular down time; find great difficulty trying to get support; and, receive large shocking bills atrepparttar 106836 end ofrepparttar 106837 month, for over-usage of bandwidth and disk space.

However this doesn’t have to berepparttar 106838 case. If a web hosting company has a projected plan for resources and infrastructure; projected rates of growth based on many years of hard experience; dedicated and conscientious staff; well established relationships with their up-provider, third party program and software suppliers; and, a pension for modern technology; good and reliable service is inevitable.

When it comes to makingrepparttar break fromrepparttar 106834 paid workforce to business ownership, you basically have two choices: to start a new business from scratch (often in your basement duringrepparttar 106835 wee hours since you have to continue to work full-time in your Just Over Broke J.O.B. to payrepparttar 106836 bills until your business gets offrepparttar 106837 ground) or to acquire an existing business.

In this article, we look atrepparttar 106838 advantages, disadvantages, traps (and how to avoid them) and issues to be borne in mind when buying an existing business.

ADVANTAGES

There are many advantages of acquiring an existing business rather than creating one fromrepparttar 106839 ground up, including:

=> Less Risky

Ifrepparttar 106840 business has been around for a reasonable length of time, it's survivedrepparttar 106841 dreaded first cut - that alarmingly high proportion of new business ventures that fail within their first couple of years.

=> Proven Concept

One ofrepparttar 106842 most nail-biting parts of starting a new business isrepparttar 106843 worry that, while you THINK your idea will fly, you're really not sure until it's time to leaverepparttar 106844 nest. Acquiring an existing business should give you comfort thatrepparttar 106845 idea behind repparttar 106846 business works.

=> Existing Customer Base

Without a doubt one ofrepparttar 106847 most difficult, expensive and time- consuming duties of a new business owner is cultivating a customer base. When you acquire an existing business your customer-base is ready-made and you can hitrepparttar 106848 ground running.

=> Predicting Future Growth

An existing business has a track record. You can review profit and loss reports, prior year tax returns and other financial information to see howrepparttar 106849 business has developed over time. This gives you an informed basis from which to predictrepparttar 106850 future growth ofrepparttar 106851 business.

=> Reduced Need for Working Capital

With an established business you have immediate cash flow fromrepparttar 106852 business's existing revenues. This means you only need enough working capital to meet day to day requirements, not a great wad of cash to see you throughrepparttar 106853 first slow, painful months until you start generating cash which is invariably repparttar 106854 case with a startup.

=> Existing Suppliers

Just as an existing business comes with a ready-made customer base, so too it comes with a ready-made supplier base and history of dealings. These suppliers will be keen to retain your business and so you will probably save a lot of time and expense that you would otherwise have had to expend to sort through competing supply terms. Existing suppliers are more likely to give you a good deal offrepparttar 106855 bat.

=> Capital Raising

Obtaining finance will also be less difficult (note I didn't say easier!) since you will be able to point to a track record.

DISADVANTAGES

The main disadvantage of an established business compared to a start up is cost. At first blush, acquiring an existing business is more costly than a startup. Over time, of course, it may turn out that a startup is a much more costly venture, especially if that startup venture fails.

ISSUES

Assuming that you decide an existing business may be for you, what do you need to think about?

* Why do you want a business as opposed to a job? * What special skills and background do you bring torepparttar 106858 table? * What isrepparttar 106859 nature of your work and/or business experience? * What are your hobbies and special interests? * How much can you afford to invest as a downpayment? * How much money do you need to generate to meet your living expenses?

=> Findingrepparttar 106860 Business That's Right for You

Once you've decided onrepparttar 106861 type of business that you want to acquire, it's time to startrepparttar 106862 hunt. The most efficient way is to engage a business broker. Most vendors of businesses list their businesses with brokers rather than attempting to find buyers themselves. For this reason, you'll most likely find that repparttar 106863 business that's right for you is listed with a broker.

You could, of course, also directly approachrepparttar 106864 owner of a business you're interested in buying to see whether there is any interest in selling. Depending on whether you're in a buyer's or a seller's market, you may put yourself at a negotiating disadvantage by doing this. Only make such an approach in a buyer's market.
