Buying the right business can be the best thing you ever do. The return on investment for a small business can be phenomenal (i.e. 60 -80%) and being your own boss can be extremely rewarding in many ways.

Buying the right business at the right price is the key.

At Don’t Buy a Lemon our mission is to help you buy a great business at a good price. We know how many people buy lemons and the many reasons for this and we find great satisfaction in ensuring that buyers purchase the right business at the right price.

We have 3 packages designed to suit your specific needs and pocket.

These packages consist of:

• Tons of useful information to guide the first time buyer through the business buying minefield in South Africa including ebooks and business valuation and loan calculators.


• A dedicated email advice service - providing answers to business purchase queries as well as suggestions from business consultants.

We know that a lot of advice can be gained from literature but each business is different and has its own different issues and problems. This is why we firmly believe in an email advisory service to facilitate discussion and suggestions regarding a specific business while keeping the costs of the consulting service down.

Having looked at many businesses before we will be able to assist you by telling you exactly what you need to be looking for in that specific business and what questions to ask the broker or seller.

All advice pertaining to the initial investigation and offer to purchase right through the due-diligence phase and the re-negotiation phase (if required) will be provided.

At Don’t Buy a Lemon we will ensure that you remain objective while we look to help you find the problems/issues in the business and then assist with the negotiation of the purchase price.
