The Frustrations of Buying A Business January 23, 2018  by  Michael Shea PA Time and Time again I have met buyers who are encountering  frustrations  in the buying of a business. The reasons vary from buyer to buyer but if I may let me offer some specifics to the buying process as it relates to the Orlando Florida and Kissimmee Markets. 1. First thing, recognize t that there is a market and there is competition. Orlando is one of the few places where there are outside factors like immigration buyers that impact the purchase process.
