Hi all,

I was thinking of buying a business. I was already going through some businesses for sale this morning. I've talked with my accountant about it also.

He was telling me that if you buy a business in the construction but you don't have the knowledge you're going to fail (for instance you can't read a plan or have any experience with construction itself).

Well anyway it seems i'm doubting myself now on the possibilities . Any ideas or advice i could get on this? Are there also any good sources on buying businesses?
