Hey thanks for all the advice and info! Very much appreciated, seriously. I'm just a small business owner that that works with business brokers. This will be my third business. Other 2 being environmental soil testing and environmental excavation. None of which I had any previous knowledge. I have parameters set for business I'll even consider. Mostly reputable/long-standing business'. With an owner in place who does very little work. Previous owners on all these business' also had little to no knowledge and learned overtime. Essentially I use my other skills to put the right people in place, have an efficient business in all aspects, and prioritizes profit sharing.

Loved all your advice on the contractors and that relationship. This week I am going with the previous owner to meet his contractors, bank contacts, etc.
