What to Look for Before Buying a Small Business


Some business owners sell their business. The buyer who is planning to buy it must check some necessary details and can purchase it.

Starting your own business from scratch is different than buying an already running business and altering it. Buying a business involves plenty of processes, and everything should be done carefully. Before buying a small business, certain factors must be considered. All those factors are listed in this blog along with some special requirements. Continue to read and explore more.

Key Factors Behind Selling a Business

The reasons behind a business owner selling a business are numerous. Some of the factors include,

  • The business owner might plan to retire.
  • The funds from selling this business could help kick-start another idea.
  • When the business sales go in a decreasing pattern.
  • Sometimes, the business owner may shift to another location.
  • If any disagreements occur with the business partners, the business owner may sell the business.

It is not certain that the business owners will sell their business in good condition. There will be some flaws and problems. Therefore, if you plan to purchase the business, consider the following factors, which are listed below.

1. No Undisclosed Issues: If the business has any undisclosed issues, then they must be resolved properly. When a buyer shows interest in buying the business, the first factor to be checked is the issues. If they buy the business with issues, then it may create a loss for them.

2. Business with Solid Brand Recognition: Some buyers check whether the business has a solid brand recognition in the market. Purchasing a well-recognized business minimizes future workload and marketing efforts.

3. Business is a Profitable One: The business that is going to be purchased by the buyers must not incur a loss. It must be a profitable one. Buying a business that is on a losing path is not a good decision because bringing it to a profitable path from loss is a strenuous process and takes a long time.

4. Build a Transferable Business: In some types of business, a large client base will be there for the business owner. If the business owner changes, then the clients will regret that business. So, while choosing a business to buy, check whether it is transferable or not.

5. Business Condition: Another factor to be considered before buying is whether the products used in the business are in good condition, whether the inventories can be used again, are the staff working there are skilled, etc. Also, the financial reports and sales patterns of the business must be identified. These are the factors that you must check in a business if you’re going to buy it.

The step-by-step process followed while purchasing the business is as follows.

  1. Initially, the buyer must do self-analysis. Whether they have the interest to run that business, the financial availability to make investments, etc.
  2. The next step is analyzing the business processes and their scope in the business market. It helps in understanding the sales performance, challenges in it, etc.
  3. Further, have a conversation with experts and accountants about the purchasing process and make the right decision.
  4. After taking effective decisions, approach the seller and check the condition of the business. Its work process, employee status, inventory condition, cash flow statements, etc., are the factors that must be checked.
  5. If a decision is taken to buy the business, negotiate with the seller and check for any legal issues. If everything is okay, then the business can be purchased.

Purchasing a business and developing it is a good choice, but its success depends on the already existing structure of the business. So, if you’re opting for purchasing a business, research clearly and choose wisely.











How to Play and Enjoy Slither io !


Introduction
If you’ve ever found yourself with a few minutes to spare and a craving for something fun, fast, and slightly chaotic, you might want to check out Slither io. It’s a browser-based multiplayer game that combines the nostalgia of the classic Snake game with real-time online competition. Whether you’re just curious or hoping to grow the biggest snake on the board, this article will walk you through what the game is, how it works, and a few helpful tips to make your experience smoother.
Gameplay Overview
At its core, Slither io is simple: you control a snake, and your goal is to eat glowing pellets (orbs) to grow as long as possible while avoiding other players. All the snakes are controlled by other people playing at the same time, which means you’re not just trying to beat the game—you’re trying to outlast real players.
Controls
You can play on a computer or mobile device. On a computer, you use the mouse to steer your snake and the left-click to boost. On a touchscreen device, just drag your finger to control direction and double-tap to speed up. Boosting makes your snake move faster, but it costs some of your snake’s length.
The Objective
There is no “end” to the game. You keep going until your snake crashes into another player or the wall, at which point your snake explodes into glowing orbs, and it’s game over. Other players can then eat the orbs you leave behind. The goal is to grow as large as you can, earn a high score, and maybe even make it to the leaderboard.
How to Get Started
1. Visit the Website
To play, go to Slither io. No download or account is needed. Just choose a nickname, customize your snake’s appearance if you want, and click “Play.”
2. Customize Your Snake
You can choose different skins, colors, and designs. It’s a fun way to make your snake stand out in the crowd. Some players even use their national flags or team colors.
3. Start Small, Think Big
When your snake first spawns, it’s tiny. This can be frustrating at first, but the early game is about being cautious and collecting smaller orbs. It’s okay to hang around the edges of the map and avoid larger snakes until you’ve grown a bit.
Tips for Playing Better
While Slither io is easy to pick up, getting good at it takes a bit of practice and patience. Here are some beginner-friendly tips:
1. Play defensively at first
Don’t chase after other players too aggressively when you're small. Focus on collecting scattered orbs and staying away from danger zones, especially near the center of the map where action is constant.
2. Use boost wisely
Boosting is useful for escaping tricky situations or stealing orbs after a big snake dies, but overusing it will shorten your snake. Use it strategically.
3. Circle smaller snakes
Once you're long enough, you can trap smaller snakes by curling around them. Just be careful not to trap yourself in the process. It’s one of the most satisfying tactics in the game.
4. Follow the giants
Big snakes often cause chaos. When they die, they leave behind a feast of orbs. If you hang around safely near them, you might be able to swoop in and grab some of the leftovers.
5. Watch out for sudden movements
Other players can boost into your path and take you out instantly. Stay alert, especially when you're near a crowd.
6. Use the minimap
There's a small radar/map in the corner that shows your position. The center is usually the busiest area, while the edges are quieter and safer for beginners.
Why People Keep Coming Back
Part of the charm of Slither io is how fast and unpredictable each round can be. A game can last 10 seconds or 30 minutes—it all depends on how careful (or lucky) you are. And because you’re playing with real people, every session feels fresh.
There’s also something oddly relaxing about guiding your snake through glowing trails of orbs, even if you’re not aiming for a top score. It’s a nice balance of competition and casual fun.
Plus, the fact that you can jump in and out without logging in or saving progress makes it perfect for short breaks, study pauses, or moments when you just need to switch off and do something light.
Final Thoughts
Slither io isn’t about fancy graphics or deep storytelling. It’s about simple, instant fun that anyone can enjoy. Whether you're looking to kill a few minutes or test your reflexes against strangers across the world, it’s a game worth trying.
Just remember: everyone starts small, and part of the fun is figuring out your own play style. Some players go slow and steady, others dive straight into the action. There’s no single right way to play.
So, next time you find yourself bored or just in need of a mental break, head over to Slither io and give it a shot. Who knows? Maybe you’ll make it onto the leaderboard—or at least have a good laugh trying.
Have you played Slither io? Got any tricks or funny moments to share? Drop them in the comments—this game is even better when you learn from other players!





Okay, scratch Operation Chill. Time to enter Dave’s tornado zone. Told him to pick the next meet-up, no restrictions.


Alright, so Virgo season hit me hard this year. Felt buried under deadlines and my boss was micromanaging like crazy. Saw folks online raving about Virgo Weekly Astrology King, talking about how it gave killer advice for organizing your week. Figured, what the heck, can’t hurt to try, right? Mine was a total mess.





Private alternative to life360 - Paralino


I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it's a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)

Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn't sell your location data or breach your data.

Berlin left in the dark as Washington weighs troop cuts in Europe


in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

No, no, it's obviously because Trump is a Putin agent and is making it easier for the ~~mongols~~ bolsheviks to attack Europe!

I bet there are people who actually think this too.

It will be cheaper than fossil fuels at some point in the future. The benefit of not being a finite resource. We can speed this process up if we scale up sooner rather than later.

We are already running out of fossil fuels (particularly diesel) so that's a given. If we are going to see significant green hydrogen generation, it will likely be in advanced dirigistic economies like China.

I love how we're all fucked because boomers will never die. Honestly, Gen X has a lot more folks that let us down. It doesn't matter the generation really. I know a pregnant gen Z, and all I can think about is how her kid, according to the popular generational theory, is going to be the next cycle of boomer. That's probably why many young gen Zs are a bunch of little assholes. But then she was a screw up, and my gen, the millineals as everyone knows works harder and is still called lazy and had our own screw ups. Generations are what they are but having no chance at happiness due to the rich controlling every goddamn asset is a new kind of fucked we all have to endure.

Hey on the plus side a bunch of stupid fucks that think COVID is a joke or hoax will die, so win for intelligence, I guess?

Hopefully humankind as a whole survives their stupidity also.





Hegseth says Wounded Knee soldiers will keep their Medals of Honor


WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 19 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening.

Hegseth’s predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill — itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek.

While the events of that day are sometimes described as a battle, historical records show that the U.S. Army, which was in the midst of a campaign to repress the tribes in the area, killed an estimated 250 Native Americans, including women and children, of the Lakota Sioux tribe, while attempting to disarm Native American fighters who had already surrendered at their camp.

Gotta say, the more I learn about history, the more I like Russia and the less I like Western Europe. Truly barbaric what those freaks have done.
