Default Mortgage and new business

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help us here.

Were looking to move to Oz next year and buy a business that has been operating for several years already. What would be the chances of buying a house straight away.
We would be looking at a house between 300k and 350k and would put down 75k as a deposit.
Which way should we do it, through a bank or a broker? and how would it work as we read something about No Doc loan, what is this?? or a rams no doc?? any ideas??

cheers

Ho much is the business? You would be better off buying the house with your own money then borrowing for the business. The interest is then tax deductable.

Hi,
We're looking in north Qld.
I'd prefer to have a loan on a house and not on a business, as wouldn't be able to pay the house off fully, but shall be getting incontact with an accountant before anything serious is decided.

I guess that they will be able to help us.

Cheers

It's all debt, no matter which way you look at it. However you may want to consider having the business within a corporation, for greater security and possible tax planning opportunities.

Have you had experience of running a business? And also, you should give consideration to setting up your own business, not paying lots of cash for another business that might not have much intrinsic value.

Be careful. Lots of people lose money when they buy businesses.

hi,

At the moment i have a business in belgium that i run, and am share holder of another one one the costa blanca in spain. have had plenty of experience with smaller businesses, up till 20 employees.
And yes your right, your better off setting up a business from scratch than forking out money to take it over.
Unless you can find the right business with the right motivations for selling. ie moving, retirement or something in that line(genuine sale) than your better off keeping your money in ur back pocket and waiting for the right oppertunity.

cheers,

Alex
