If you really do want to be an entrepreneur and buy a business, then I suggest searching the Internet to what is available in your area. There are sites, like &lt;A HREF="http://www.biztrader.com" REL="nofollow"&gt;BizTrader.com&lt;/A&gt;, which are online global marketplaces where you can buy and sell businesses. They can also provide you with additional resources like finding a lender, broker, etc. &lt;BR/&gt;I also suggest checking out current books and magazines for help and advice. Local small business groups can also be very helpful, and it doesn't hurt to network. &lt;BR/&gt;Good luck!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/7534837802650589560/comments/default/5342707731585526029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/7534837802650589560/comments/default/5342707731585526029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sunnybits.blogspot.com/2008/03/starting-business-realistic-things-to.html?showComment=1222873080000#c5342707731585526029' title=''/><author><name>Victoria Cullen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12446963050954692075</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sunnybits.blogspot.com/2008/03/starting-business-realistic-things-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159661074526940118.post-7534837802650589560' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/posts/default/7534837802650589560' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159661074526940118.post-7800579921187184351</id><published>2008-09-30T21:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T21:57:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Interesting post.

Becoming, what I hope, an entrepreneur is somewhat new to me, so I can use all the help and advice I can get! I know it'll be tough. Lately I've been thinking about the idea of buying a business instead of starting from scratch. I'm not sure what I should go for. Franchise? Home-based? I don't know. Do you have any suggestions or advice? Thanks!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/7534837802650589560/comments/default/7800579921187184351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/7534837802650589560/comments/default/7800579921187184351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sunnybits.blogspot.com/2008/03/starting-business-realistic-things-to.html?showComment=1222808220000#c7800579921187184351' title=''/><author><name>Mel Eldridge</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06629358535825994554</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sunnybits.blogspot.com/2008/03/starting-business-realistic-things-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1159661074526940118.post-7534837802650589560' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1159661074526940118/posts/default/7534837802650589560' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
