What Makes an Industry Profitable?
Skill set, related background and experience, and training and certifications are a few factors that should be considered when choosing a business to buy. Similarly, if you are selling a business, these would be valuable qualities to highlight for buyers. Although direct experience is not always necessary for a business to be profitable, it strengthens your investment to learn about the inter-workings and components that make up the bones of the business. Human capital drives profitable businesses, many having low overhead and low launch fees. These types of service industries can even be started in your own home with minimal out-of-pocket expense, which is good for both buyers and sellers.
