The market, and why this works now
BizBuySell's recent data on small business sales trends shows an increase in acquisition activity among entrepreneurs. To generate initial revenue, the consulting service can target potential clients through the r/Entrepreneur subreddit, where aspiring business buyers actively seek advice. A challenge in the first year will be managing the high customer acquisition cost, especially when competing with established firms in the consulting space.
