Ask HN: Anyone bought a profitable boring business?

5 points by melostax 11mo ago ↗ HN

I am contemplating the prospect of buying a profitable non-tech business. Did any of you do that? What was your experience like? Any word of caution?

Background: First time buyer, software engineer by profession. Will most likely use SBA for financing.

From the other side, but you may get some info. There is a classic article by patio11 "What I Learned Selling A Software Business" https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/selling_s... HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11347006 (439 points | March 2016 | 84 comments)
