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.

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.

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 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.
