While the reason for selling a business is an important criterion, simply because a business is being sold doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad business. Business owners may have decided to sell due to reasons such as retirement, health issues, disagreements between partners, or consolidation of group companies. If the added value that the company you are considering acquiring will bring to your company exceeds the sale price, then it would be a good acquisition. What is important is that the valuation of the company in question is done correctly and that the legal and tax aspects are properly structured.
