Buy the Right Business. Not Someone Else’s Problem.
AJS Capital represents quality businesses and works with qualified buyers to structure deals that actually close.
Buying a Business is Not a facebook marketplace transaction
Most first-time buyers underestimate how complex business acquisitions really are.
The biggest risks are not the ones you see. They’re buried in the financials, operations, and structure.
Good deals don’t come from luck. They come from process, discipline, and proper qualification.
Common Buyer Mistakes
Chasing “cheap” businesses
Not understanding cash flow vs profit
Underestimating working capital
Not being financeable
Skipping due diligence
Falling in love too early
Not understanding deal structure
What You Should Actually Look For
Defensible cash flow
Transferable operations
Stable customers
Clean financials
Financeable structure
Reasonable transition path
Financing Reality
Banks don’t finance ideas. They finance structure, coverage, and risk.
If it’s not financeable, it’s not a real deal.
How AJS Capital Works With Buyers
Buyer Qualification
We assess your experience, capital, financing capacity, and readiness. This avoids wasted time, bad offers, and deals that were never going to close.
A structured acquisition process designed to reduce risk and avoid expensive mistakes
Our 6-Step Buyer Process
Goals & Acquisition Criteria
We define what you’re actually looking for so you stop chasing random opportunities and start focusing on deals that fit.
Deal Screening & Shortlisting
We filter opportunities based on quality, risk and financeability so you only spend time on deals that make sense.
Financial Review & Risk Analysis
We help you understand the real story behind the numbers before emotions or momentum take over.
Offer & Deal Structuring
We structure offers around terms, conditions, and risk - not just price - to increase the odds of closing.
Financing & Closing Support
We guide the process through lenders, conditions, and closing so the deal doesn’t die at the finish line.
