What is the point of buying a business?
Do you dream of settling in Provence Verte and starting a new professional life there? While starting a business from scratch is one option, buying an existing business offers many advantages. At Servane Immobilier, experts in the local market and real estate sales in the Var region, we explain why this solution is often a wise choice.
What is a business?
It is crucial not to confuse a business with commercial premises. Commercial premises are the building, the “walls.” A business, on the other hand, is all the elements that enable a commercial activity to be carried out. This includes two types of elements.
Intangible elements
Intangible elements are the most important elements, such as:
- the customer base;
- the brand name;
- the trade name;
- the right to lease;
- and contracts (employment contracts, insurance contracts, etc.).
Tangible elements
Tangible elements represent all physical and material elements such as:
- equipment;
- tools;
- furniture;
- and goods.
When you buy a business, you are taking over an activity that is already up and running. It's a real springboard for your project! Cotignac tells you more.
The advantages of buying a business
Investing in a business means choosing security and speed.
An established customer base
This is the major advantage! You're not starting from scratch. You immediately benefit from a loyal customer base and an existing reputation. This significantly reduces the risk of failure compared to starting a new business.
A turnkey business
The business is ready to go. The equipment is in place, and licenses and permits are often already obtained. All you have to do is take over the operation, which allows you to generate revenue from day one.
Easier financing
Banks are more inclined to finance the purchase of a business than the creation of a new one. A business already has a financial history and proven revenue, which is a guarantee of security for lending institutions.
Secure lease rights
Lease rights are an essential part of the business. They guarantee that you can continue to occupy the premises over time, often for a period of 9 years, saving you from having to negotiate a new contract.
