A startup gives you the ability to create a sports promoters and managers business that conforms to your personal goals and leadership style. Yet startups are also more difficult to finance because their nature is inherently risky.

On the whole, buying a business minimizes uncertainty as well as many of the objections lenders use to disqualify startup entrepreneurs from financing.
