One of the questions I'm asked most often is... "What's the best business to buy?" But I actually think there's a more important question. Which businesses should you avoid? After more than 27 years buying businesses and completing 70+ acquisitions, there are three types of businesses I consistently tell people to stay away from. The first is traditional high street retail. You only have to walk through most town centres to see the challenges many retailers are facing. Consumer habits have changed, costs have risen, and many businesses are fighting an uphill battle before you've even taken ownership. The second is restaurants. Can restaurants be successful? Absolutely. But unless you already understand that industry inside out, they can be incredibly difficult businesses to run consistently and profitably. The third catches a lot of people out. Businesses built around the latest trend, the newest technology, or the next "big thing." No customers. No proven profits. No track record. Just promises about what they might become. That's not business acquisition. That's speculation. I prefer buying businesses that have already proved themselves. Businesses with real customers. Real profits. Real systems. Businesses that are making money before you buy them, so they're making money from day one after you take over. Better still, I'll show you how professional acquisitions can often be structured with none of your own money in, while protecting your personal capital wherever possible. Buying the right business is every bit as important as knowing how to buy it.
