Business Buyer Advantage – David Barnett

Business Buyer Advantage is a book and training program that teaches individuals how to buy and acquire small and medium-sized businesses. The program covers various topics related to buying a business, such as how to find and evaluate potential business opportunities, how to negotiate and finance a business purchase, and how to manage and grow a newly acquired business.

Business Buyer Advantage is a full-day class that walks you through the whole process of buying a business. Discovery, inspection, offers, funding, due diligence, closure, and transaction structuring are all part of the process.

This is the online version of the Whole Day seminar I’ve been giving in classrooms since 2009. During the last ten years, I’ve taught about 100 sessions and received excellent comments from students after each one.

This course has been highly recommended from one student to another. It has always included a money-back guarantee, and just a few individuals have ever requested a return. This is how confident I am in the material’s quality.

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning a business but are afraid to start one because of the risk, this class can help open the door to buying a successful, established business that already produces a profit.
