The business already has some customers, products and services which can be market, so it may be cheaper to acquire an existing business instead of searching for new customers and trying to retain them.

For me the buying of the existing business is more advantageous than starting one from scratch. This is Because the business had already established itself on the market and have customer database that is already attached to it

You would enjoy an already established business as you are not starting from the scratch. the business has it market already and have customers that would still be patronizing it daily.

The benefit of buying an existing business is when there ready customers. That way, you can just keep up from there selling your goods or services to customers.
Another benefit is that you won't go through the trouble of siting a good location to start a business or looking for space to rent, you can just use the existing ones.

That happens when the sold business suffer losses or in the verge of bankruptcy. The benefits would be less hasle to promote the business because it is already existing. All the new owner do is improve the system.

The advantage of buying an existing business, especially an established/successful business, is that we don't have to go to the trouble of building a business. Because starting a business from scratch is not easy, you need ups and downs until you find the right tricks for business success.

You have a point there though, there is already traffic in an existing business, so in buying an already existing business you do not have to start struggling on how to get traffic to the business again.

The outstanding benefit of buying an existing business is always the reason of having ready customers. The business have customers already so you can just keep up from there selling to them

It is good to buy an existing business because it is time and money-saving. There is no need to purchase goods anywhere because there are existing goods. All you have to do is fix the pricing and the display must be organized.

The benefit of buying existing business is that the business already have been developed and it have customers so it won't be a difficulty to run the business that have already buy running, that's why wealthy peoples buy an existing business.

The major advantage I can see in buying a business is that you won't be the one to start convincing people about the business again because people already know about it

The existing business is already in running condition, almost each and every thing is set in it. Mainly the customers are well aware of that business which save much more time.

That's true, meaning your main work here would be to maintain and grow the already existing traffic that the business have. Unless you are trying to rebrand the business as well.

Buying an existing business has a lot of benefits and one of it is a business idea which is used in the business you want to buy and you won't also need to start from the scratch in building the business or even sourcing for potential customers and partners.

That's right, with an existing business you do not actually need to struggle in getting traffic, cause there is already a customer base. Your main goal would be to ensure the customer base keeps growing.

When you buy an existing business, you are giving yourself the chance to start from what has already been built, especially if the business is well managed. It would stress you less.

When you acquire an existing business, it comes with many benefits, such as a recognized business model, a strong market presence, and a higher likelihood of immediate earnings on your first day of operations.
