What are you actually buying here?
Takeaways
- The business relies heavily on trust and relationships within the horse community, which can be a high barrier for new owners.
- Clarity on what assets are included in the sale is crucial – are the transport vehicles part of the deal?
- The business might be more of a lifestyle purchase, offering a job rather than a hands-off investment.
- There’s potential for a media play – imagine a reality series documenting life in the horse transport world.
