Britney Spears buys HEAT NUTRITION & TANNING - 15303-B Amberly Dr., Tampa 33647 This might not be the Britney Spears that first comes to mind, but this young woman’s story will impress you. This 19 year old has wanted to own a tanning salon for several years. On June 19, 2009 Britney purchased HEAT Nutrition & Tanning – a beautiful shop known for its’ high-powered nutritional products, awesome energizing smoothies and great tanning. Britney began searching for a great business about six months earlier. She knew she wanted a business that interested her but one that also fit her budget and skill set. She looked at a number of spas and salons but it took a while to find one that seemed right. She contacted Legacy Venture Group, Inc. (BuyBizUSA) for help in her search. After narrowing her search Britney decided to make an offer on HEAT back in February. She had some cash but not enough to pay full price. Banks weren’t lending much (most still are not). She wrote an offer requiring seller financing but the deal fell apart while negotiating on a final terms. She waited patiently and kept any eye out for new opportunities. Then about six weeks ago the owner of HEAT decided that seller financing might be acceptable and even lowered the price. Legacy contacted Britney with the new information. She continued to negotiate and this time she and the seller found a win-win solution that they could agree to. Nearly 50% of American adults dream of owning their own businesses, according to surveys by the International Business Brokers Association. Still, very few 19 year olds have the ability and vision to buy an existing business. When we checked in on her after her first weekend, Britney was working long hours getting to know the business. Customers were helping her learn their favorite smoothies. And overall, Britney seemed happy and energized with her new business. Britney did many things right. • She created a business plan and a marketing plan. She outlined what she wanted to do and how she was going to achieve her goals. She has already begun to work on her new company website. • She gathered her team of advisors. She consulted her father, her friends, and some professionals, including a business broker, to help her find the right business. • She also knew her limits. Britney kept to a budget and made sure her investment did not use up all her cash so that she would have some working capital. • She was also willing to walk away from a business she really liked and had spent months to find. In the end, it worked out well for her and the seller. Both came out winners. • She researched her business. HEAT had an existing track record, an up-and-running location, and a complete system in place. Starting up a similar business could have cost two or three times as much as she paid and may have taken one, two or more years until it made a profit. This proven location, amidst great restaurants, hair stylist, nail shops, and a Lifestyles fitness center, attracts clients interested in looking and feeling healthy. She jokes “You can’t be a Ten without a Tan.” So when you are near Amberly Drive, just off Bruce B Down, in Tampa, drop in to see this great tanning salon and meet this impressive young entrepreneur.
