There are 2.5 million small businesses for sale and buying one can give you huge returns. We discuss with Codie how women can get started in investing or buying small businesses, how to evaluate businesses for sale, what to look for in a profitable business and what industries to stay away from, and the mindset shift needed to be successful in this space. Codie also shares with us resources you can use and steps you can take right now.
