1. BUSINESS VENTURES
SCENARIO DBE NW/June 2019
BOTSHELO Pty (Ltd)
Botshelo Pty (Ltd) intends to penetrate the market by acquiring other businesses
in the neighbouring countries. They contacted Mara Pty (Ltd) to buy their
business. In their discussion the owners of Mara overstated the returns made in
the previous years. The business has experienced a decline in sales due to the
bad reputation caused by negative employees.

Mara Pty (Ltd).
Mara overstated the returns made in the previous years. The business has experience
decline in sales due to the bad reputation caused by negative employees
The positive impact of buying an existing business.
It is easy to raise finance if the business has a good history. The business is able to make
immediate cash flow because it has already established customers. It is easy to
penetrate the market because distribution channels and supply links are already
established.
Reason why entrepreneurs may decide to purchase an existing business. DBE NOTES 2024
Established business An established business should not take up too much
time to set up as all requirements needed to run the
business is already in place.
Established customer An established business should have an existing
base customer base.
Established name When an entrepreneur buys an existing business, it may
and reputation come with goodwill from an established good
reputation on the market. People are creatures of
habit – if they have shopped at the same hardware
store for several years, they will likely continue to shop
there – even when a new owner takes over. It is a
good idea to state that the transfer of ownership

includes the company’s phone number, website and
registered name.
Known market The market research has already been done for an
existing business, so the new owner can use that
information to form any future plans.
Mentorship Starting a business can be overwhelming. If you
purchase an existing business, the owner may often be
willing to stay on for an agreed amount of time to
mentor and guide the incoming owner.
Cash flow An existing business already has customers and
continued cash flow. By comparison, a start-up can
take a long time to attract new customers and
become cash positive. Buying an existing business can
offer greater security over working capital and help
the new owner to improve cash flow sooner.
Financing Many existing companies have three or more years of
profitable financials that makes it easier to secure
financing either from a traditional bank, government
organisation, or venture capitalist.
Current Staff Only one in ten start-ups make it past the second year
and many businesses fail during growth as the business
tries to hire more staff. Having trained staff in place
can ensure a smooth transfer and contribute to the
success of the business.
