Just had a look at this video. You've made a really good point regarding whether a business is worth buying in the first place irrelevant of the money and funding. Are the customers/client loyal to the business or the owner? I remember long time ago my father went to a specific garage for many years and got on really well with the manager. The manager was a peoples person, got on really well with people. He decided to open his own garage and took a large chunk of clients with him. Does the business consistently have a flow customers and have positive cashflow? The last thing you want is another job that probably cost you a large junk of your time.
