You need to have knowledge about the business and how it is performs
Look at whether the business has been meeting its targets, costs and net profit
Ideally, benchmark the business against competitors in the area
Look at whether the business has good systems and processes
Does it rely on the owner or does it operate well without them?

Be very clear on your plan, this will help with negotiation and having clarity may make you the preferred purchaser
