Buying a business is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll make. Before you fall in love with a business opportunity, the most important question is a simple one: what can you actually afford?
As the world's most trusted business brokerage, LINK has worked with thousands of buyers across every industry and deal size. One thing we know for certain, the buyers who go in prepared move faster, negotiate smarter, and close with confidence.
Why it matters
Too many buyers start their search with a rough number in mind and work backwards. That approach costs time and often means missing the right opportunity while chasing the wrong one. Walking in with clear figures puts you in a stronger position at every stage of the process, from initial enquiry through to final negotiation.
Our calculator takes the guesswork out. Whether you're exploring your options for the first time or ready to move, it's the fastest way to turn ambition into a concrete plan.
