one thing I dun quite understand - he said ""The biggest takeaway was to not buy over a company but buy over a business.".. how to interpret this?
""The biggest takeaway was to not buy over a company but buy over a business."
Look at the people that runs the business. A lot of SMEs not worth buying coz the owner is the one that keeps everything together. Take him out & the whole business is worth less.
same thing if you can add in your business skills to an existing business, you may create more value than the previous owner.
