Acquiring / Buying a Business, Investing in a Business, Taking up a Franchise / Distributorship / Sales Agency

I am an individual investor looking for the following factors in a business:
1. Strong founding team & leadership: What I look for is visionary founders with execution capabilities, industry experience, and a willingness to adapt. Red flags are ego-driven founders unwilling to take feedback or evolve.
2. Scalable business model:
What I like are asset-light, tech-enabled models with high margins and low customer acquisition cost (CAC). What I dislike is manpower-intensive models with no scope for automation or scale.
3. Clear market demand & problem-solution fit:
What I like is businesses solving real, validated pain points in growing or underserved markets. What I dislike is me-too products in saturated markets without any differentiation.
4. Financial health & unit economics.
What I like is positive or near-positive unit economics, transparent books, strong gross margins, and sensible burn rate. What I dislike is vanity metrics, unclear revenue streams, or unsustainable cash burn.
5. Innovation & technology integration: What I like is tech-driven platforms, IoT, AI-based insights, automation, or deep-tech enablers within core functions. What I dislike is businesses ignoring digital transformation, relying purely on traditional practices.
6. Regulatory compliance & risk management: What I like is businesses that proactively manage compliance, IP, data privacy, and risk frameworks. What I dislike is regulatory blind spots or legal grey areas (e. g. unlicensed F&B kitchens, grey-market electronics).
7. Customer retention & brand loyalty:
What I like is high repeat usage, strong NPS (Net Promoter Score), community-driven or D2C models with emotional connection. What I dislike is over-reliance on discounts and churn-heavy customer base.
