I'm doing some market research and looking to identify the biggest challenges for searchers looking to buy a business

One of the most comment topics I see on searchfunder is around dealflow...a lot of members are looking for dealflow (both through brokers and proprietary), needing to use different tools, services, data providers, etc...

What would you say are some other challenges that many searchers have been experiencing ? Financing? legal? etc..

In my state of search survey, the most common issue respondents want assistance on is deal flow. DM if you'd like to discuss more of my findings!
