In this video, I share the real story of an IT professional who bought a franchise business without the right deal training, missed critical due diligence red flags, and ended up trapped in a failing business with a seller note he still has to repay. If you're thinking about buying a business, this story highlights why due diligence, deal structure, seller financing, and proper negotiation matter far more than simply finding a business for sale. **** Special Xero offer: Get 90% off for 6 months using this link: https://referrals.xero.com/DavidCBarnett_xero.
