I hear so many businesses never sell and that 90% of what gets listed is junk.
What makes a business bad? What kind of red flags are you looking for?
I'm working on developing my "filter out" and pass criteria and would like to get others input.
What makes a "bad" business?

Think of it in the following (exaggerated) example... what if this website was created for people that wanted to do self-operated hip replacements. The posts would "has anyone replaced their hip" or "hey I replaced my hip and it is swelling pretty bad, anyone have the same issue...Naturally that website doesn't exist because no one would perform their own hip replacement...when there are professional called "Doctors" available.
So replace hip replacement with buying/selling a business and replace doctor with consultant... and i think that 90% wasted deal number would be dramatically reduced. Have any interest to discuss buy side/sell side strategic consultation - just DM me, glad to chat.
