from service to small business
veterans make great business owners
"Building something that's driving towards a mission and cause is something I'm personally missing since the military—small business is something I can zero in on."

the value of acquisition ownership
why buy a business
Less risk
An existing business has a track record of success
48% of new businesses fail within five years. An established business has already proven its viability, giving you a solid foundation to build on.

better funding options
Loan payments can be covered with existing revenue
Small businesses can be purchased with a mix of debt and equity. You can buy a profitable business for as little as 10% down.
existing cash flow & assets
Start with customers, revenue, and infrastructure in place
42% of startups fail due to lack of market fit. Acquiring an existing business gives you something that’s already working, with an established team and customer base.
