Rule of Thumbs

Rule of thumbs are general averages of similar types of businesses. If all businesses were equal then the rule of thumb method would work, but no two businesses are alike. The problem to a buyer is that there are excellent and terrible businesses in this group of similar businesses. The only way to make sure you are buying one of the excellent businesses is to have all the financial records evaluated by an expert. It may cost to do this, but it could be the difference between success and failure.
