What kinds of things should you consider when deciding on the type of business you should buy?

First and foremost, you should really consider a field where you have some practical experience.  Jumping headfirst into business ownership and a new field is a recipe for disaster. Use the abilities you have developed throughout your employment history to bring success to your own business venture.

Also, be completely honest with yourself.  If you have never worked in a restaurant or bar, it is not a good idea to buy one. If you’re not a big fan of kids, don’t go into childcare. If you’re someone who hates sitting at a desk and staring at a computer all day, it is probably unwise to purchase an IT business. If you are prone to outdoor allergies, don’t buy a landscaping business.

Match your dreams, aspirations and knowledge to the business you will eventually buy.  By having the ability to bring what you already know into your new business venture, you will be setting yourself up for success as a new entrepreneur.
