I always tell people to go for the bigger businesses because you'll make more money, they're easier to finance, they're easier to buy, and they run themselves better. They don't need you. Making yourself redundant in your business is the fastest way to increase value. And it just makes your business easier for someone to buy from you. A beginner should be looking for a business that has made money day in and day out for the past five years, has predictable cash flows, can support any debt you put into the business, and still has enough profit to take money out. Buying a business is not about the business you will own but the person you become.
