I am the owner/operator of a small In-Home Health Care business and Security Guard servises Agency that has been operating since 1985. The Health Care part of the business grossed over $1,500,000.00 for 2012. I will be turning 78 years old this March and want to retire as quickly as possible and enjoy some of the life I have left. I hate to just close the business down when a Disbled or retired Veteran wishing to start a business can benefit from a business that is already in operation. I not sure if this is the correct place to have a discussion about selling a going business to a veteran, if so email me where to discuss this matter. Thank you

BizResearcher offers great advice. Try getting in touch with a local Small Business Development Center or SCORE, two of SBA's resource partners. They're located across the country and provide free business counseling and answers. Visit our local assistance guide to find your local SBA resource partners by entering your zip code.

Selling a profitable business is definitely preferable to closing it. You may
want to visit with a counselor at a small business development center or a
SCORE office in your area. Their services are free and they can recommend how
to best proceed. You might also talk with your attorney. You will need
him/her to create a buy/see agreement, so getting him/her involved now may
open doors to potential buyers.
