Over his career, Tom Malloy has advised hundreds of entrepreneurs considering launching a search to buy a small-medium business. Here are a few of the toughest questions every prospective searcher should ask themselves.

• "Have you managed people at varying levels of education and age groups?"
• "Can you make timely decisions with limited resources?"
• "Are you intrinsically satisfied and motivated to be an independent SMB entrepreneur?"
• "Do you have the capital to fund your search and acquisition costs/equity?"
