Key questions include why the business is for sale, how long it has been operating, and what the current financial performance looks like. Ask about profit trends, expenses, and any outstanding debts or legal issues. Find out who the main customers are and how stable the revenue is. Understand daily operations, staffing needs, and supplier agreements. Check what assets are included in the sale and what is excluded.
