An existing business has established employee, client and vendor relationships.

An existing business has demonstrated that there is a need for that product or service in a particular locale.

Financial records are available along with other information on the business to make borrowing and establishment of credit facilities easier.

Most sellers also include transition assistance at no additional cost to train a new owner.
