Whether to start a business or buy a new business

[ericnoronho]

My sister is older than me. After a recent upheaval in her personal life, she is torn between making a decision whether to start a business or buy a new business. Is there anyone who can help her?

Hi- I'm not sure of the relevance of the age reference- is that a key factor?

And maybe I'm getting cynical but I trust this is a genuine question and isn't a set-up question which will soon lead to spam responses from other green new users.

it depends on the type of buisness your looking to start
its easier buying an existing buisness as it wil have a trading history which you can build on with some income but on the other hand it may be that you want to start somthin fresh . i am in the process of starting from fresh as i cant find a trading buisness to buy!
hope this helps!
good luck

Buying a business often includes a goodwill price whereas starting a business doesn't.
