When purchasing an investment that already broke even, does the new investor start a new break-even analysis for the cost of buying the company? For example, if I brought a company for $100,000, would I even consider the break-even analysis of the previous owner or look to create the analysis for myself, thus calculating how long it will take me to break even from sales? Sorry to add a question to your questions, but you have me thinking now.
