<p>We designed this book to be a synoptic excursion into the buying process, to acquaint the reader with the major steps involved and, just as important, what to watch out for. The book is for buyers or buying groups focusing on businesses with annual sales up to $25 million. It is our premise that a familiarization with the process, terms, and major players can shorten the time necessary to become successful in the acquisition process, but it will be up to the reader to formulate their own acquisition style. An individual's motivation to buy a business can come from many directions. Often buyers claim that they are tired of the rat race of corporate America. Many say they are leery of buyouts and mergers that are prevelent in their industry, citing colleagues that have become displaced due to corporate restructuring following these transactions. We hear repeated comments from executives that they are tired of making money for the man and not getting their fair share. Some corporate workers mention that the motivation to buy their own business is primarily based on controlling their own destiny, but the end result is the same: to become a business owner. For a first-time buyer, the acquisition process can be intimidating and over whelming. Complicating the process is the unfamiliarity of the business transfer process.</p>
