Buy bankrupt business and turn it around

"What if you buy a bankrupt company and give it your vision?"

Why now

You have enough work experience to recognize operational problems, but still have the courage to take big risks. Bankrupt businesses are now dirt cheap due to economic uncertainty.

Why this is so fun

You'll learn business from all angles - from accounting to customer retention to personnel management. Plus: the moment you see the first profit after months of hard work gives you a rush that no office job can match. And stories about 'how I saved that company from ruin' are always good conversation starters at parties.

First 3 steps

  1. 1Search for interesting companies through bankruptcy records
  2. 2Have an accountant check the books
  3. 3Create a turnaround plan with concrete improvement points
