Join the class at https://www.BusinessBuyerAdvantage.com Get on my list and learn more at https://www.DavidCBarnett.com Related Article: What’s with the R-word? Well, in the spring there was a question about buying a business in a recession. Last week I released a video about whether business prices go down in a recession. Now, I’m getting all kinds of recession questions. The fact is, small businesses are risky and any ONE business is at risk of recession for reasons COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT of the general economy. So, if there are all kinds of risks out there, do we need to do anything different when buying a business and we believe a recession is coming? Planning for risks is part of the game. You need to put yourself in the best position with the most options possible. I’ve put a few more thoughts into this week’s video as well as announced an early Black Friday goodie for 2019.

I held an online session for some of the graduates of the Business Buyer Advantage online course last week and a few great questions came up. The first one I’ll tackle is here. Do prices go down in a recession? It may seem like an easy answer to say yes, but there is no relationship between the economy and business prices. The relationship is between the business’ financial performance and its price. But that’s not all that changes in a recession. Most notably, the availability of credit can change and this has an effect… on terms! I think you’ll enjoy this one.
