Buying a business or franchise
Illustrative example — not a real client result
Reviewing acquisition funding alongside business due diligence.
The challenge
A purchaser wants to understand the finance involved in buying an existing business or franchise.
The approach
- Review the proposed purchase, financial records, purchaser experience and available contribution.
- Consider working capital, security, repayments and the business's capacity to service debt.
- Arrange independent accounting and legal due diligence, including any franchise or lease obligations.
Example outcome
The example outlines funding questions to consider before signing a purchase agreement.
A finance assessment is not a valuation or endorsement of a business. Independent due diligence remains essential.
