re are many businesses for sale listed on the internet, the majority of which are typically operated by an active owner. However, there are scenarios where the seller of the business is an absentee owner and the prospective purchaser is planning on being fully active in the business. Such scenarios do require some special planning to ensure a proper transition and smooth company transfer. Below are some points to think about if you are contemplating putting an offer on a absentee owned company.

Training and transition
If you buy a business, how will the training and transition occur if the owner is not active in the operation. Will the seller have the time and know-how to transition the company to you or will employees play a key role in this process?
Will an employee need to be displaced once the business is sold?

Theoretically, if you step in to a managers role and there is an existing manager [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then a hard decision will need to be made. Consider the consequences on morale and how it may impact your transition. This is a key point that should be mitigated before you close the transaction.
If you are thinking about investing in a business without an active owner, consult with a reputable business broker or other professionals to discuss the other unique issues about the deal. There are risks inherent in any entrepreneurial venture, you need to manage through them the best way possible.
