Buying an insolvent business

DISTRESSED BUSINESSES

The Business Sale Report has teamed up with a leading business turnaround practitioner who has put together a guide on how to buy an insolvent business.

The guide will help you to;


  • Find businesses for sale in financial trouble.
  • Make the initial approach to the Insolvency Practitioner.
  • Put together relevant documentation.
  • Do 'mini due diligence' on a business, and ask the right questions.
  • Understand what types of deal there are. Such as upfront or deferred consideration.
  • Know how much to pay for a business.
  • Know what legislation to look out for.


The full guide is available to our members. Membership costs only £225 for 12 months.
