Re: Buying competitor's company

Very wise advice John, thanks. I know he wants out and wants to sell to someone local. The neighboring WISP I've worked with in the past would sell if someone offered them the right price, so I know they wouldn't go after it.

However, right now I see my survival based on either buying out the other company or working on growing my own very rapidly, both of which require capital I don't have.
The proverbial "rock and a hard place"...

Since he approached you it would seem to indicate that he is wanting to escape from his particular situation. Perhaps you could arrange a phased payment to him and a loan to do the most obvious system upgrades (sectorization and such).

A sharp pencil and an eagle eye would be two valuable assets at this point in time.
