I would prefer to buy an existing business because it often comes with established customers, brand recognition, and operational systems already in place, which can reduce the risks associated with starting from scratch. Additionally, existing financial data can provide insights into the business's performance and potential for growth. Starting from scratch, while potentially rewarding, typically involves more uncertainty and a longer timeframe to achieve profitability.

Should you terminate the staff when buying an existing business?

There are pros and cons to this. On the pro side, if you plan to keep existing customers and would like a continuity of cash flow, then keeping existing staff would be beneficial. Some customers may stay loyal to the staff, or prefer certain people. You do not have to interrupt business to take the time to train new people in new positions. On the con side, if the business was bought because it was failing-maybe the existing staff are a factor in that. They may resent new ownership, and in the end-no one likes being told what to do by the new guy.
