(had no response to my original question in the web hosting forum so I am throwing it open here).
I am interested in purchasing a modest but established web hosting business (or perhaps a front end web/print design or social media business in the future).
Have you ever bought a business in this area or considered this? Most web companies are probably built up from scratch.
Assuming that the accountant is happy with the historic accounts and basic due diligence is fine, what are the issues and risks involved in buying a front or back-end web related business?
what was your experience of buying an existing company? Any unanticipated issues?
thanks
