Questions About Buying Businesses

[Forza]

In the future, I would like to buy a business that makes at least several hundred thousand dollars per year. But I fear I won't know what I'm getting into. What I mean is,

How does this business really work?
What exactly is it about this business that enables it to be so busy, and profitable?
How can I be sure of the answer?
What is wrong with this business, and how can I be sure?
Is there a competitor in the market, or something I'm not seeing that is about to take business away some time after I've bought it?
If the CEO leaves, how will I find another one to replace them, and what do I do without one there?

This is where I'm at. Just asking questions.
