Start or take over?
Taking over a business means starting ahead.
Starting a business
- Finding the idea and proving it works
- Starting with zero customers
- Hiring and training a team
- Months, sometimes years, before you can pay yourself
- Convincing a bank with no track record
Taking over a business
- Know-how and a market already in place
- Customers and revenue from day one
- A team in place, often supported by the seller
- Known profitability, so you can pay yourself
- Financial statements to show the bank
The real risk
Picking the wrong business.
An overpriced business, an EBITDA that flatters, hidden debts: when you are new to this, you don't know where to look. That is exactly where your AI expert comes in.
- A score out of 100 to see at a glance whether a listing deserves your time… or whether to walk away
- Plain-language explanations: profitability, price relative to EBITDA, strengths, risks
- Official warning signs: insolvency proceedings published in the BODACC, confidential accounts
- Your financing plan, simulated with your own contribution: annual repayment, what is left to pay yourself
- The right questions to ask and the documents to request from the seller
- The advertiser's form filled in for you: message and acquisition plan included, you confirm the sending
