Hi all,
I have a friend that is about to purchase a small FBO. Now we all know
that owning a small FBO is a labor of love at the very least. However,
he is wondering if it is really financial suicide given the trends of
today's laws, governmental regs, legislation, TSA, etc.
His (my) question is: Do any of you have any general or specific
thoughts that you might offer him before he signs on the dotted line?
It depends on where the FBO is and why it's for sale. For example,
it could easily be financial suicide to buy a failed FBO where at the
same airport with a very good one (or two). Or buying an FBO near
DCA/IAD/BWI, BOS, JFK, LAX, etc would be crazy.
Or buying an FBO at an airport that is constantly under threat of closure.
