Hi! If one is buying an old business is it better to create a new entity to avoid any potential hidden debt legal liability or other issues old entity has that may not be discovered during due diligence?
Absolutely. I would never recommend that you do a stock purchase rather, I want my students to do asset purchases to avoid any hidden liabilities from the legal entity from the seller so you are on the right track. What types of business are you looking at?
@@LeoLandaverde thank you! I'm searching for older resort type of businesses . Retiring owners. I'm just worried that in old customers eyes the business may loose it's appeal if they see a new name on invoices
@@LeoLandaverde sorry not sure if I understand:) my feeling is that if there's a new entity we'd have to reapply for licenses certificates etc And there may be a disruption in service so the grey Area is how to keep existing customers feeling good about this and not leaving after they realize it's a new company and new owner
You will never be able to hide the fact of changing ownership. Whether you do a stock purchase or an asset purchase customers will know there is new ownership, but what I advise my students to have the current owners stay on board for six months to a year to assist in the transition.
Hi, Leo. I love and appreciate your videos. Thank you for making them! I do have a question - How do you determine how much taxes will be taken away from the SDE when you look at a P&L statement? Let’s say you buy an entity through an LLC, I am just trying to figure out how much money you will be left with after expenses like paying an operator and then taxes on the income of the business.
Hey Jon, Legal entities don’t pay taxes, unless they are C-corporations. Most businesses are either an LLC, or S-corps, which means that they pay no taxes; the taxes are passed to the ownership. The matter of taxation is a bit more complicated to figure out on pass-through entities.
@@LeoLandaverde yes , do you know about rent escalation? The landlord says like $100 yearly increase 3 year term. I m waiting for the lease form so I can review if there’s a way in the life of the lease I can renegotiate.

I talked about five types of businesses about 15 minutes into the video. Did you watch the whole thing?
No ones going to hand you your investments on a platter @samandaury. Do your own research pal.

How soon are you looking to buy? Do you have at least 10% to put as equity injection? Will this be an SBA loan?
