Buying a business involves far less risk than starting one from scratch, so if you are in a financially strong position in life, securing finances to buy a business shouldn't be a problem.
Details: Want to Buy a Business? Have a Plan!
You have several financing options to choose from when you are trying to secure finances to buy a business. But all of them involve convincing someone that your idea is so good that they should give you money to implement it.
So before anything else - Have a Plan.
Not only when you want to buy a business, this is very good business advice in general, perhaps so commonsensical that it is not as meticulously implemented as it might be. Careful planning eliminates an enormous amount of risk from even the most uncertain business propositions. And when you are trying to convince someone to give you money, nothing works like a plan, supported by a backup plan, garnished with facts and statistics that are based on market research.
Use business jargon, but learn to use it effectively. Don't spout terms like Debt-Equity Ratio and Revolving Lines of Credit unless you know exactly what they mean and you are sure that the person you are talking to knows what they mean as well.
