Should I buy a small business now or wait
Does it make sense to get into business ASAP or to build your reserves first? The 10-year question…
Please fill in the viewer survey for 2023: https://www.DCBsurvey.com
Johnathan has a small amount of money.
Should he use it all to buy a ‘starter business’ and hope to learn along the way?
Or- does it make sense to gain experience and build up his money in a corporate job and buy a bigger business later?
The root of the question is actually missing the context that drives most buyers.
Let’s expand and explore in this week’s video.

Please fill in the viewer survey for 2023: https://www.DCBsurvey.com
Customers who pay in advance are essentially financing a business.
It’s like a loan.
