I think this is a very interesting question. Some people buy stocks, some people buy real estate, surely - somebody invests in buying existing private businesses?

I have posted this question on another forum, and I have yet to find a response from somebody who has personally done this, or been involved in this kind of transaction.

I know there are a few business brokers on the forum (and so many entrepreneurs!), so maybe someone can shed some light on this topic from personal experience. :rockon:
