buying campground
I am looking to buy a campground that has closed. Having a hard time finding them. Any suggestions?
Forum Discussion
I know nothing about the business of running a campground. However having run a small business for almost 40 years, I know a little bit about small business in a general way.
Couple of quick thoughts
1) If it is your dream I think you should pursue it
2) Almost without exception, the new, would be owner believes the current owner is an idiot, and they will do much better. In a very short period of time. Very rarely does that turn out to be the case.
3) At least a year of cash in the bank to tide you over until you can get going is a smart idea.
4) It would be great if you could work for a successful campground, for a time and really learn the ins and outs. That should really help in your buying choices
Best of luck to you, hope it works out
