Great article. I'm planning to buy a business, but I don't live in India. Can I still use your services? Would you be able to direct me to a more global site? Thanks.
Jess, I suggest checking out your local Chamber of Commerce. They should be able to help you. It's also just a good way to network. I also suggest looking at BizTrader.com. It's a global marketplace for small business, and it's based out of the States. You can buy, sell, or invest in one. There's a wide selection of businesses. Definitely check it out sometime and good luck.
