I am interested in purchasing an existing small business sometime in the next ten years. I am 30 years old. I am raising a family. What small businesses might be especially ideal to operate as a family, with my children participating?

Restaurant might be super fun if your objective is not necessarily to make money, and can supplement the any potential loss with whatever income you have

The original intention is different, and the expected results are also different

Lots of considerations.

1. What are your main skills?
2. What are your childrens main skills?
3. What types of businesses do you understand well.
4. How much capital do you have to sustain the business in a down turn?
5. How much time are you willing to spend?

These are just some of the questions you need to figure out. Businesses can easily become a bad decision but they have the potential to transform your earning potential if you execute correctly.

Happy to chat more if you found the above helpful.

Hello small business owners! How many of you have an exit plan in place to harvest the wealth you’ve built and make sure your family is taken care of? Stats show that the vast majority of business owners have never thought to make a plan.

At my firm we always tell clients “Everyone leaves their business eventually. Whether you do it standing up or lying down is up to you!”
