Buy A Business Quickly, Easily And In Your Own Backyard - Simply By Taking Your Lawyer Out To Lunch

One extremely effective way of finding good businesses for sale -- other than the
"usual suspects" of the Internet and business brokers -- is by talking with your local
attorneys.

Now, that doesn't mean you should go out and say, “Hey, I’m going to have to hire
an attorney, and the attorney will find a business for me.”

That's not what I'm talking about.

No, I'm talking about if you happen to be working with an attorney right now, and
the attorney happens to be a friend of yours or maybe the attorney happens to be a
person representing you in a case (so you know him), what you should do is sit
down and spend some good time with him.

Don’t just call him on the phone. Don’t try to make up a list of things to send to 50
attorneys in your area.

I'm talking about you going out and having a real, live talk with every attorney you
know. Have breakfast or lunch with them, spend an hour, an hour and a half, two
hours. Spend some good time with them.

Why?

Because each time you do this you’re going to find that person is going to know
about businesses for sale and will tell you everything you need to know.

You see, most attorneys know about businesses for sale because a client has died
and they’ve been asked to help or to sell a business, or they happen to know
someone from working in the office who knows of businesses for sale.

And if you also let the attorney know that you’re willing to pay him or her a fee for
their help, it will only accelerate your progress.

Why?

Because their help can be invaluable. Worth way more to you than the fee you pay
them -- which can and should be paid out of the money you make in the business
anyway.

Bottom line:

If you want to find good, profitable businesses, with good employees and clean
records, you should definitely talk to attorneys you know. And offer them a nice
finders fee for their trouble. It more than pays for itself in saved time, frustration
and money in the long run.
