1. Hbr Guide To Buying A Small Business
A practical manual for aspiring acquirers that treats buying an existing small business as a realistic, repeatable path to entrepreneurship, explaining where to find opportunities, how to screen and value candidates, structure financing (including SBA and seller financing), perform focused due diligence, negotiate terms, and manage the transition to ownership; it emphasizes assessing risk and owner-dependence, building a clear 100-day and operational plan, and offers pragmatic checklists and examples to help readers move from search to closing and then stabilize and grow the acquired business.
