We have heard of how people step up and buy existing businesses. These people don't wish to start new businesses and wait the time to build it to become significant.

Does having to buy a business have advantages over having to build a new business from scratch? What are such advantages?

When you buy an already existing business that has a name already, you just have to consolidate. Look what Musk did after buying Twitter. Didn't have much work to do on marketing and promotion.

One major advantage of buying an existing business is that you don't have to worry about creating a customer base. Cause it already have an existing one. Your major focus would be on rebrand or growing the business.

Buying operational business means you start making money from day one. THis is not possible if you try to create your own business

If it is a well-known company, then there is no need to promote. Although selling a company is a bad sign in business. It could be in a bankrupt state and needs to merge with other companies.
