Thanks for posting that. I want to run a business, so this is very useful information. I've been thinking about buying a business instead of starting one from scratch, but I haven't had much luck while searching for one. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Claire – Have you looked into small business groups in your area? They should be able to help you.

I also highly recommend BizTrader.com, which is an online global marketplace where you can invest in, buy, and sell a business. You can also find a lender through the site should you need one. There's a wide selection of business, so I'm sure you'll be able find something you're looking for. Check it out and good luck!
