At Gaebler, we think it makes a lot of sense to explore a helicopter wholesale and manufacturers business purchase before committing to a startup.

You'll want to conduct a comprehensive due diligence process, but here are three arguments why you should think about buying instead of a startup.

  • Initial Revenue. Startups struggle to bring in revenue right out of the gate while existing businesses usually have a steady stream of income.

  • Capital Acquisition. Lenders, investors and other funding sources almost always prefer business purchases to startups.

Don't Rule Out Franchising
