Potentially Life Changing decision - looking for input

[make_your_move]

So ... yesterday I headed over to my favorite yarn store in Centreville. And ... it's for saleAs far as I know, they're not going out of business. The owners are in the midst of personal difficulties, and I think they're looking to sell it and avoid the legal issues that may come between them

Follow your dream, but check the books.

If you want, I'm happy to loan you a business book, or if you want, bring the financials over some evening and I'll look at them.

Note: My business focus was very much not-financial management, so if you've got someone else who has one, or are willing to pay someone, then do it.

I'll be the first one to admit I know nothing of financials beyond the basics ... so I'd definitely have to hire someone.

But I very much appreciate the offer! I thought you might be one of the people with good insights :) I'm open to advice from someone I know to be learning all of this.

I hated accounting, but financial management was actually a lot of fun - it is a lot of putting puzzle pieces together.

What's the time sensitivity on this? I can whip up 20 piece of information that I'd love to have fairly quickly. I can't promise comprehensiveness, but I can do free advice.

Who are you?

I don't know if my previous reply posted, as apparently I was anonymous, but anyways - how time sensitive is this? I can probably whip up 20 or questions, or a set of spreadsheet that requests the necessary information to number crunch.

He's looking to sell ... so fairly time sensitive. The owner just forwarded me the info ... want to look at it?
