Starting a business from zero can drain your time, money, and energy before you ever build momentum. Corey Parchman joins Marcia Riner to explain why buying an existing business may be a smarter path for entrepreneurs who want cash flow, customers, employees, and systems already in place.

You will hear how first-time buyers can define the right acquisition target, use SBA financing responsibly, evaluate cash flow, and avoid buying a business that looks good on paper but creates problems after closing.
