征文：我在加拿大找店蹲店的一段经历

石冰

If you want to open your business, the best way is to open by yourself.  The risk is there but you will success by yourself also.  There are only your side, win or lose.
石冰说:在加拿大没那么简单,Same Landlord 不会让同一种生意存在!!!!!!何况新生意有三年风险期!!!

If you buy a business from a broker, there are 3 parties, you, seller and broker, seller and broker always win, only you has 2 way choices - win or loss.

石冰说: 这里的Broker是Listing Broker, Buyer 可以有Buyer Broker;
你还没有搞清生意买卖的关系.一个Closing的生意,真的Winner是Lawyer和Landlord! 没有几个地产经纪肯Full time做Business Broker的!!!

It's unfair to a buyer, because only you have the risk, others are safe.
石冰说: It's Ture, Dual Agency  is unfair to a Buyer!!!!!!!!

If you think one selling business is good, OK, just open another same business next door, the selling business should be down to half or less.  But you will win another half with lower cost.

If a selling business can bring huge benefit, why the owner want to sell?  He/she can hire people to continue his/her business and make money continuely.  The reason he/she told you might not the key reason.
石冰说:a selling business can not bring huge benefit, 最常见selling business的原因是因为Tax的问题,或者Lease的问题. Business和房子一样都有一个生命周期,老店仅有扩张,才会有新生!!! 这也是我提倡购买Franchise 的用意. 在操作一个Franchise的时候,有机会学习新东西,学习如何把生意系统化. Tim Hortons的老板就是从买一家DQ ice Cream开适创业的.世界上到处都有风险,问题是该如何规避风险!!
