Buying an online business is a dream for a lot of students or professionals who have an entrepreneurial streak. Rather than take the risk of a traditional startup, these entrepreneurs look to acquire something that is already built and profitable.

In our experience at Quiet Light Brokerage, acquisition-minded entrepreneurs come from a variety of places, but more and more, Universities are teaching students how to successfully buy an online business rather than start an online business.
